A report into the activities of an Army agent in the IRA during the Northern Ireland Troubles, codenamed Stakeknife, will be published early next year.
By Julian O'NeillHis Operation Kenova team has investigated historical crimes, covering murder and torture, and the role of the state, including MI5.The west Belfast man left Northern Ireland in 2003 after several media organisations alleged he had been working for the Army while he was at the head of the IRA's internal security unit.
In a statement, Mr Boutcher said: "While there is much discussion about the future of legacy following the government's proposed bill, the bill should not impact the release of the Kenova's findings. The report will address "what was and was not happening" between organisations - the IRA and its internal security unit, the police, the Army, the intelligence services and agents and informers.
