Stephen Sackur speaks to Kieran Conway, the former director of
intelligence for the IRA. He joined the group in 1970 and was
part of a unit in England which engaged in armed robbery to help
fund the organisation. He spent time in prison in Northern
Ireland and soon after his release in 1974 was put in charge of
IRA intelligence. Just weeks later bombs planted by the IRA
killed 21 people in two pubs in Birmingham, England. What does he
know about those responsible for the bombings and how does he
justify his past?
