Re: IRA Terror cells

A mate of mine used to be a taxi driver. He told me one of the drivers was a sleeper ( ira sent over to live under cover). This guy was a pyrotechnic (very handy) and would mysteriously slip away just before bombs would go off in the country. This could just have been gossip but people where vary on edge then. Are you refering to the guy up Avenue Parade? I remember him.
