Kenova – Collusion and the Murder of Citizens 

The Kenova Report adds further substance to the litany of existing reports that over several decades have exposed the extent of British state participation in the murder of citizens.

The Kenova Inquiry commenced in June 2016 and the final report was published on 9 December 2025.

Operation Kenova covered four distinct investigations:

·      Operation Kenova – Stakeknife

·      Operation Mizzenmast – The Murder of Jean Smyth-Campbell

·      Operation Turma – The killings of Sergeant Sean Quinn and Constables Paul Hamilton and Allan McCloy

·      Operation Denton – The activities of the Glenanne Gang.

The Kenova Report is 166 pages long and it is impossible to deal with it all in this column. However, it is available on the PSNI website at https://www.psni.police.uk/about-us/our-publications/operation-kenova-final-report. 

Bondi Beach

Anti-semitism is wrong. Just like racism, sexism or sectarianism. The attacks on Jewish people on Bondi Beach are shameful. My thoughts are with those who were murdered, the injured, their bereaved families, the wider Jewish community and the people of Sydney and Australia.

Unity project making progress

As 2025 draws to a close the momentum around the demand for Irish Unity continues to grow. Last week Sinn Féin’s Commission on the Future of Ireland published its annual report. 2025 was an exceptionally busy year for the Commission with nine public events hosted in Ireland, one at the European Parliament and 13 events organised by Friends of Sinn Féin in America and Canada. In addition, a national strategic conference was held and a series of internal party discussions took place.
