More 4 News reports a member of the House of Lords has claimed the IRA murdered a man in Armagh and used parliamentary privilege to name those he blames.

Republicans are now themselves sitting in Northern Ireland's power-sharing executive, and the IRA have declared that their war is over, but even so, south Armagh still seems to be posing problems. This time to Sinn Fein.
