One thing has always left me wondering about this fella and his place in the history of that troubled Province
Why is his name not spelled "Steak Knife" ?
Or possible "Steaknife" ?

It was deliberately misspelled to prevent anyone in the IRA googling who he was. |  | | |

I think the security services spelt it that way to hide the fact they were having clandestine meetings with him in the Berni Inn in West Belfast. |  | | |

Yes.
Which is a shame, as he did so much great work to bring peace and harmony to the situation at the time.

This story brings back memories of when my parent's road on Broke Hall estate got mentioned on the front page of the Telegraph several years after the event because it was used to house IRA supergrasses. Those were the days when there were such things as police houses, and there were a few dotted about on Broke Hall. [Post edited 10 Mar 2024 21:32]
