Angela Whoriskey and supergrass trials
Collins argued the British Attorney General’s statement on the Angela Whoriskey case contradicted claims that supergrass trials would end. Barry replied that those named by Whoriskey were not now facing trial, and denied that he or the Taoiseach had said the trials would end.
This letter does not say that. The Minister should see what is in this letter. Would the Minister agree that the statement by the British Attorney General yesterday on the Angela Whoriskey case indicates clearly that the supergrass system will continue?

The thing to note about the Angela Whoriskey case is that the people whom she had named, and who perhaps in other times would have faced trial, are not now facing trial.

Will the Minister agree that he was chancing his arm as was the Taoiseach at the weekend in claiming that the supergrass trials would be ended, pointing to the Whoriskey case as evidence of that? This is totally untrue as has been put on the record publicly yesterday by the British Attorney-General.
