Trevor Harper was head of the Security Service in Northern Ireland in 2008, according to journalist Henry McDonald.[1]
McDonald reported in March 2008:
- All reports on suspected al-Qaeda activities across Ireland are to be handed over to the head of MI5 in Northern Ireland, Trevor Harper. He is based at the new £20m headquarters inside Palace military barracks. Last week The Observer revealed that, in the event of a major terror attack on MI5's HQ at Thames House in London, command of the security services would be switched to Holywood.[2]
The Sunday World reported in October 2009 the the Real IRA was planning to attack the new headquarters:
