There is huge difference between the scale of collusion between the forces of the State who are responsible for law and order and paramiltaries, than a few rogue Gardai passing on information they shouldn't have. In many cases the perpetrators were members of both organisations.
Perhaps this shouldn't be the place for it, for that I sincerely apologise, but I am not sure whether your point is based on naivety or something else.
A few rogue Gardai? Passing information on? It appears that you're implying that one side was rather insignificant compared with the other - that's not true.
Collusion in murder, weapons smuggling and allowing multiple suspects free passage (or to escape) is not something to be merely overlooked. Nor was it isolated.
This happened on both sides and that's inexcusable. The British forces AND those of Phoenix Park were involved in serious collusion which resulted in deaths.
If you believe it was only a few mere Garda near to the border involved with passing on 'information they shouldn't, then I am not sure where to go from there.
I am not taking one side here if that's what you think, far from it, as I will openly admit and denounce the unlawful collusion from 'my country'. It disgusts me.
Yet, it should however be balanced and open from both sides and my concern is whether this is currently the case, as wounds need to be healed for all.
With regards to the original post, I hope there is justice.
