Denis Donaldson, the former Sinn Fein official who spied for Britain for 20 years and whose mutilated body was found yesterday, had been warned his life was in danger.
The Irish prime minister, Bertie Ahern, today revealed that, in January, Irish police had become aware that Mr Donaldson was living in an isolated, run-down cottage in Glenties, Co Donegal.
Mr Ahern told the Irish parliament that Garda officers had visited the farm to advise the 56-year-old that his life was at risk. This must have been the deduction of the century - the crime awareness of the Garda never stops amazing me.
