IRFU responds to spy claims - ‘Artistic licence’

According to the IRFU, the author of a book by a former British military intelligence officer, who claims he was employed to search for bugs inside the union’s headquarters, exercised ‘extreme degrees of artistic licence’ in his portrayal of a risk assessment carried out by a security consultancy.

The book, Client Confidential, which the author wrote under the pseudonym Sean Hartnett, is classed as a biography but some of its claims appear outlandish.
