Raymond Gilmour.
Derry IRA supergrass Raymond Gilmour was back in the North last week, Derry Daily can reveal.
The 54-year-old made a secret 24-hour visit to sign copies of his new book “What Price Truth?” before slipping back to his hideaway in England.
Gilmour has been living a secret address and under a new identity for over 30 years after giving evidence at a collapsed supergrass trial.
While he has no intentions of re-settling here, he said he was prepared to break his cover and return to go into court to give evidence against Martin McGuinness.
In an interview with Belfast Daily, Gilmour said: “I am now prepared to come forward and make statements under oath against Martin McGuinness.”
Sinn Fein have dismissed Gilmour, codenamed “Agent Romeo,” as “entirely unworthy of belief.”
Using quotes used by the judge at the 1982 supergrass trial, a party spokesperson said: “On December 18th 1984 the Presiding Judge Lord Lowry ruled that Gilmour was not a credible witness.
“He said he was ‘entirely unworthy of belief… a selfish and self regarding man to whose lips a lie comes more naturally than the truth’.
“No further comment is required.”
