’Boston tape’ claims should give us pause

THESE tapes just keep on coming. First, there were the ‘Lowry tapes’, then the ‘Anglo tapes’, and now the ‘Boston tapes’ are hitting the headlines.

Whatever about the alleged crimes and misdemeanours ‘exposed’ in the ‘Lowry and Anglo tapes’, the Boston recordings mine a much deeper seam.

Some people believe that the tapes contain information that may help to solve the murder of Jean McConville, a mother of 10 who was killed by the IRA in 1972.
