IRA rubbishes drugs stories
The following statement from the leadership of Óglaigh na
hÉireann was received by An Phoblacht on Wednesday, 25 July:
``In recent weeks a number of media outlets, most notably Jim
Cusack of The Irish Times, have attempted to link the IRA to the
drugs trade.
``The IRA leadership refutes these baseless allegations, which
have been fabricated to mislead the public.
``The IRA's position on the drugs trade is well known. We are
totally opposed to it in all its forms.''
