Collusion : A Question of Loyality - The UDR - Northern Ireland Troubles

☢️VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED☢️
Formed in April 1970 to replace the notorious 'B' Specials, the UDR's membership came mainly from the Protestant community.

Former SDLP councillor Brian Feeney, who has written the fore-word to the research, said that during the Troubles between five and 15 per cent of the regiment's members were also involved with loyalist paramilitary groups.

He believes that these dual members, many of whom were also RUC Special Branch and MI5 agents, provided weapons, intelligence and finance to loyalist paramilitary groups.

While much is known about the extent of UDR collusion with loyalists groups, the full extent of the regiment's primacy over other British army units in some parts of the north has not been made public.
