SF man 'set up IRA links with ETA and PLO'

Sinn Fein’s administration chief at Stormont headed the IRA’s intelligence unit, establishing links with ETA, the PLO and other worldwide terrorist groups, a court heard today.

Denis Donaldson, 52, was also invited to the wedding of a chef wanted for questioning in connection with the seizure of informants’ files during a raid on Special Branch offices in Belfast earlier this year, it was claimed.
