Corruption alleged among N. Ir

BELFAST, Northern Ireland, Jan. 22 (UPI) -- A 3-year inquiry into Northern Ireland's police force concluded homicides committed by paid informers were covered up or not prosecuted in the 1990s.

The 160-page report said as many as 15 killings by Ulster Volunteer Force members were swept under the rug to maintain informers' relationships, The Telegraph reported.

Police Ombudsman Nuala O'Loan said the policy of protecting informers was supported by senior officers in the Royal Ulster Constabulary and the force that replaced it, the Police Service of Northern Ireland.

"It would be easy to blame the junior officers' conduct in dealing with various informants and indeed they are not blameless, the report said. "However, they could not have operated as they did without the knowledge and support at the highest level of the RUC and the PSNI."

O'Loan concluded her report by saying she was satisfied the PSNI has put policies and procedures in place to ensure such cover-ups "will not happen in the future."
