Billy Wright Inquiry
In March 2008, a former holder of this post, identified only as Witness DCI testified to the inquiry onto the death of loyalist Billy Wright:
- The MI5 officer said this week that the inquiry panel had already seen evidence that the Intelligence Service had informed RUC Special Branch in April, 1997 about the INLA threat.
- He said he had assumed police would have passed the information on to the prison authorities.[2]
