Anne Cadwallader is a former journalist who covered The Troubles during some of it’s worst years and wrote one of the leading books on the proven collusion that occurred during The Troubles between British Govt/law enforcement and Loyalist paramilitaries.

Anne’s book and research focusing mainly on the period of 1972-1978 and group known as the Glenanne Gang, a loose collection of loyalist paramilitaries and, more worryingly, members of the RUC (police force in N.I at the time) who provided weapons, intel and more to help the group kill innocent Catholics who, almost exclusively, had no connection to the IRA.

We discussed the infamous loyalist murderer Robin Jackson, the RUC officer John Weir whose evidence shed light on the collusion and blind-eye-turning took place. Anne tell us about the Dublin/Monaghan b*mbs which killed 33 and injured scores more, the Miami Showband Massacre and the evidence that links the Glenanne Gang to these atrocities.

We spoke also about Operation Kenova, Operation Denton, the Legacy & Reconciliation Bill and their implications.
