This is the story of veteran Republican Liam Sutcliffe who joined the IRA in 1954. Within a few months he was an IRA agent in Gough barracks Armagh during `operation Harvest'. Sutcliffe later left the IRA and operated with the breakaway Joe Christle group during the 1950s Border campaign.

In 1966, on the 50th anniversary of the 1916 Easter rising he was involved in an operation to blow up Nelson's Pillar in O'Connell Street Dublin.

In 1970 Sutcliffe joined Saor Eire. He was instrumental in organising the funeral in Mount Jerome Cemetery of Saor Eire member Liam Walsh, who was killed in a premature explosion at the rear of McKee army base in Dublin.

This is his story, in his own words.
