Host (unknown)

He was a Sinn Féin politician.

And I mean, he had a history that went all the way back to, you know, how he had been a sort of revered IRA hero at one time.

He played a significant part in Sinn Féin.

He was very trusted.

He was very high up the ranks.

He would have been very close to Gerry Adams and others, and he would have been trusted to be sent to America when there was a change of guard order.

to be brought in there to the fundraisers.

And he has this background that he was the last person that anybody believed could have actually been working as a spy.

There's all sorts of things still in the ether.

Was he a double agent?

Was he also working for, you know, the IRA and the Republican movement?

How do you do that?

And how he was recruited.

Everybody seems to have settled on this story that he had tried to steal a suitcase from a Belfast department store and was caught and then, you know, agreed to go and give information.

It doesn't feel right, that story.

even though I don't, you know, those who have kind of come to that conclusion have very good sources, etc.

It doesn't feel enough for what would have happened over the 20 years after he did sign up as a spy.

But we have gone back into the full detail of his background, his life,

what happens in the run up to him being outed as an informant there's a targeted operation really to take down Bobby's story that ultimately finds there's documents found in Dennis Donaldson's house

He's arrested.
