Why do this now - she is dead
The tarnishing of the name of a dead mother by the Provos is yet another example of their corner of the mouth approach to the truth

RSF Secretary Sean O’Neill

The depiction by the Provisional IRA of murdered mother
Jean McConville as an informer is just another fig leaf to
cover a senior spy in their ranks, Republican Sinn Fein
said today.
Sean O’Neill, secretary of RSF in Limerick said that the
PIRA statement flies in the face of the investigation by
Nuala O’Loan, the police ombudsman who cleared the
woman of the unsubstantiated charges.
“A kangaroo court condemned this unfortunate mother to
death and she was executed and buried secretly in an
unmarked grave by the Provos,” said Mr. O’Neill.
“Who was responsible for murdering this innocent
woman? Were any of the now exposed Provo spies
involved in her execution?
“The PIRA statement is just like all the other lies
issued by them down the years. They said they
had no involvement in killing Garda Jerry McCabe,
they said they would not enter Leinster House, they
said they would not decommission.
“The Provo lies ring hollow and their latest ploy
to tarnish yet again an innocent woman must be
designed to protect the man who ordered her
execution. Will this man ever be brought to
justice? Will both governments plead that the
peace process is too valuable to risk by exposing
the man who ordered the murder of this poor woman.
“It would appear that she is being sacrificed in order
to keep a highly placed spy at work and this cynical
PIRA statement only reduces them to willing accomplices
to a vile and nasty murder.”
