Britain to access tapes of ex-IRA member’s interview

THE British Government is to get access to confidential taped interviews carried out with a prominent former IRA member about her activities during the Troubles in the north.

The interview with Dolours Price, completed more than a decade ago, was carried out by Boston College as part of its “Belfast Project”, an oral history of the Troubles.

The tapes are expected to shed yet more light on the 1972 disappearance and murder of Belfast mother-of-10 Jean McConville.
