Well, I can tell him there was a lot of information on Kincora, but people who know about it are dying and files may be destroyed. The boy had told RUC officers that sexual assaults were taking place at the home and, although they were sympathetic, the officers told her that they were being blocked at a higher level from doing anything. By the September of that year, Colin was racing in international paratriathlon for the first time, finishing sixth in the men’s PTS3 at World Triathlon Para Cup Alhandra.

The woman told him that she was dealing with a Kincora resident who had been in trouble with the police. He claimed his allegations were blocked because the leading perpetrator was both a leading member of a loyalist paramilitary group and an undercover agent for MI5. Wallace was undoubtedly permitted considerable latitude in regard to the manner in which he presented these themes in the course of his briefings and he also participated in the dissemination of printed IP material.Wallace was fairly or unfairly dismissed in the light of the new evidence - but that just will not do. Paul Foot’s reporting is superb and his writing style captures you in a way similar to a fiction author.

Journalists from foreign news organisations would be given briefings and shown forged documents, which purported to show that politicians were speaking at Irish republican rallies or were receiving secret deposits in Swiss bank accounts. In Maurice's view it was undoubtedly the pressure of increasing in-house rivalries and the danger it was causing which caused Thatcher to ask him to come out of retirement and reorganize from scratch the whole intelligence empire in Northern Ireland.But it was also so much more enchanting than I expected… seeing the millions of stars at night from basecamp, watching the sun set from half way up the Lhotse face or witnessing the shadow that Everest throws onto the stratosphere when the sun rises behind it on summit day, totally magical. In the years following his appointment to the Information Policy unit, Wallace received high praise from the senior staff at Thiepval. This view was similarly expressed by Alex Carlile QC (now Lord Carlile),[4] who later speculated that this may have been the motive not just for the alleged frameup, but also for murder. Colin Wallace claims he was discharged from the British army for his refusal to take part in a dirty tricks campaign orchestrated by MI5 in Northern Ireland.
