Could Mr Cusack inform me who it is that believes I am a leading member of the IRA? Prior to and at the time of my arrest in London in July 1996 I was a volunteer in the IRA.

I was not arrested in 1990 on the Dutch-German border. At that time I was already two years in prison custody in Germany.

I have never served a prison sentence in Holland.
