Ed Moloney, former Northern Editor of The Irish Times and The Sunday Tribune, wrote this article in the Irish Times on July 5th 2007. Moloney argued at the time that the death of Charles Haughey the previous year made it possible to place on public record the extraordinary letter that launched the Northern peace process.

Ed Moloney is author of ‘A Secret History of the IRA’. He wrote this article in the Irish Times on June 19th 2006, a week after Haughey had passed away.
