::A former RUC officer was one of the two men who exposed the whereabouts of the self-confessed British spy [[Denis Donaldson]] in a Sunday tabloid last month.

::Colin Breen, who worked in Tennent Street station in Belfast and is now retired, travelled to the Glenties area of Co Donegal with a Sunday World journalist to track down Donaldson.

::Breen, who allegedly has close ties with the Special Branch, secretly videotaped Donaldson outside his remote hideaway five miles from Glenties. He is not a Sunday World staff member, and the newspaper’s regular staff photographers were not used.

::The newspaper printed the pictures and location of Donaldson, which until then was unknown to the public. The secretly-filmed video was also sold to a number of British television stations. Donaldson was shot dead at the cottage on Tuesday.

::Gardai refused to say whether the Sunday World journalist who wrote the story, [[Hugh Jordan]], or Breen would be interviewed as part of their inquiries.<ref>[http://archives.tcm.ie/businesspost/2006/04/09/story13313.asp Ex-RUC man helped find Donaldson], by [[Colm Heatley]], [[Sunday Business Post]], 9 April 2006.</ref>
