More republicans may be outed as British spies

SPECULATION mounted yesterday that at least one more senior republican may be ‘outed’ this weekend as an alleged spy for British secret services.

In the continuing fallout from the Stormontgate affair, several sources told the Irish Examiner yesterday that the admission by Denis Donaldson that he was a British agent for 20 years would not draw a line under the affair.

Three names were mentioned separately by sources, all of whom spoke on condition of anonymity. Two are influential Belfast republicans while the third is a prominent republican figure in the South.
