Secret files reveal government wooing of UDA terror chiefs

Revelations revealed in this year’s batch of files include that whilst the Government claimed not be talking to terrorists, they were happy to meet the UDA’s leadership in their capacity as so-called 'brigadiers’, how continuing IRA activity held back the peace process and who the DUP wanted to become a Lord.  Sam McBride joins Ciarán Dunbar.
