Ahern vows to act on Cory report

Bertie Ahern today said there were “serious matters” in the report his Government has received from Canadian Judge Peter Cory on allegations of collusion between the security forces and paramilitary organisations on both sides of the Irish border.

Reports in Dublin have indicated that Judge Cory has said there is evidence that rogue gardaí may have provided information that led to the Northern Ireland borderside murder of two senior Royal Ulster Constabulary officers in 1989.
