A driver who ferried Sinn Fein/IRA president Gerry Adams to secret talks 
with the IRA has been identified as a British spy.


Roy McShane fled his family home yesterday after being taken into 
"protective custody".

The disclosure is deeply embarrassing for Mr Adams as, only two years ago, 
it emerged one of his closest aides also worked for MI5.


Denis Donaldson, who headed Sinn Fein's administrative team at Stormont, was 
found shot dead five months later.


Shortly afterwards, intelligence sources spoke of their belief that there 
was another British agent close to Mr Adams.


Mr McShane, a good friend of 56-year-old Donaldson, was a driver for senior 
republicans around the time of peace process talks which led to the Good 
Friday Agreement ten years ago.


The bullet-proof Mercedes was used in secret missions taking Mr Adams and 
his deputy Martin McGuinness from Castle Buildings to persuade the IRA to 
decomission their weapons.


The security services were also said to have bugged a Ford Mondeo that the 
two men used in 1999.


Former republican associates claimed Mr McShane was merely a "working- class 
soldier", but he would have been privy to highly sensitive information as he 
ferried Adams and his colleagues to and from confidential talks.

Mr McShane, from the Clonard area of Belfast's Lower Falls, would have 
worked closely with bodyguards who protected Adams and McGuinness and would 
have been one of MI5's top informers, being well rewarded for his regular 
supply of information.


He would have been on firstname terms with top Sinn Fein officials, 
including McGuinness, now deputy First Minister in the Northern Ireland 
assembly.


Sinn Fein put a brave face on the revelation, insisting Mr McShane's double 
life was not a surprise. But there was shock in West Belfast, where he 
lived, drank and socialised with his golfing friends.

A spokesman said: "The party leadership had concerns about this individual 
for some time. He was sidelined to the point of being removed from any 
work."


And although Donaldson was murdered at a remote cottage months after being 
identified as a spy, the spokesman added that Mr McShane "is under no threat 
from republicans.(Of course he isnt0LOL

 If he wishes to return, it is up to him to make peace with his community 
and his family. (Then we will sort him out) despite cessation of all 
violence LOL



"The man has left his family, they have to pick up the pieces and that is a 
matter for him to address."

Senior DUP MP Jeffrey Donaldson said: "We will want to establish why he has 
been taken into protective custody, if indeed that is the case, and whether 
or not there's some kind of threat from either the mainstream Provisional 
IRA or other republican elements."


SDLP Assembly member Alex Attwood said the truth about collusion must be 
told. "What we need to know is how high and how deep in Sinn Fein and other 
parts of the Provisional movement the penetration by police, Army and 
security service agents went.


"We need to know the full extent of collusion between republican and 
loyalist groups and the security forces, and we need to know the full price 
of such collusion in terms of human life."


Mr Adams is due to meet party members in Dublin today to discuss the EU 
constitutional reform treaty.


Police would not comment on the disclosure.
