"I believe that spies, the security services, in the world generally, are becoming increasingly powerful and that our civil liberties are being eroded." Justin Keating. This article is an attempt to put flesh on those bones. I attempt to list some of those agencies active in Ireland, to list some of the powers they can and do use to make life difficult for those that cross them and to look at some of the technology they have access to. I put in two appendices too that hopefully show the controlling role of those agencies in Irish paramilitary groups and some international comparisons to this type of intelligence agency support for 'terrorist' groups that they are ostensibly opposing.

This is a growing tragedy that I must admit that when reading of such increasing growing deaths, it brings a lump to my throat.. For oneself I would have thought that those involved in the conflict would have found it more difficult to adjust {and many have}. Yet it seems teenagers and those in their twenties {the children of those at the forefront and brunt of the war} are finding it even more difficult. This is a situation that needs to be addressed and addressed urgently and many good community activists along with parents of those deceased are campaigning actively on this. The situation is getting worse and I believe that all support that can be, should be forthcoming to such campaigns, both in the forefront and in the background on this matter., ... read full story / add a comment
