Quite a maverick by all accounts, even his superior officers couldn't fully control him. He was also rumoured to be involved in the Miami Showband massacre.
It wasn't that. He was too reckless. He thought he had fooled the locals. Imagine bluffing saying you were in the IRA when you weren't - too easy to be found out. Which of course he was.

I'm trying to understand what exactly he's supposed to be doing ? Was he trying to 'infiltrate' the IRA ? WAs he acting as a sort of 'go between', an unofficial line of communication between the two sides ? Even if he was acting independently of any orders, what were his aims ?
Ironic that Nairach was from a devout English Catholic family and even attended the "Catholic Eton" of Ampleforth College in Yorkshire. Excellent video- first class work and well presented.
I've never viewed the conflict as anything to do with religion. Nobody was arguing about anything Jesus said. It was to do with ethnicity, and as an Anglo Catholic, I don't think Nairac would have had any qualms about killing Irish people even if they were catholic by denomination.
Would I be right in saying he almost escaped his captors, but the gun he took from one of them jammed on him? Would I also be right in saying that those who tortured him said he gave nothing away & was brave beyond belief?

Tragic civilian loss of life and unnecessary killings. However, military targets on both sides are fair game. They knew the risk they were taking when they lifted a weapon.
My mum's dead. Died 2008 aged 88. She was born raised in Bundoran west coast EIRE (Ireland). Roughly eight miles from the border to Northern Ireland. She hated the IRA. She was a Catholic. She had connections in her family to the IRA from middle 1920's. She still hated the IRA and all they stood for. We were in Mcgriskin's pub in Kiltyclogher around 1966 and the pub struck up rebel songs supporting the IRA position. She stood up, told them to shut up.....they did. She was working in London then, married a Cockney had three kids. She always returned home to connect with her roots. In the late 1980's Mr Nairac was in the news. He'd disappeared. No body found. I asked her what she thought. She looked at me. Said he was an Officer in the Army, sent to tap up locals in a pub to find information. He was kidnapped by the IRA. Tortured for days. He gave up NOTHING. He died under torture. The IRA buried him. The IRA were very impressed he told them nothing.....despite. They hated him but respected him. He was buried and his body has never been found. I believe this version from my mum.....i think dhe knew. She admired his bravery. Courage.
The British army did the same to spies during ww1 and WW2. When you put soldiers on land that doesn't belong to you, it's likely the locals will eventually fight back.
Nairac is not considered one of the disappeared, he was considered a legitimate military target, and an annoyance at that, so anyone who does have information would unlikely ever want to share it with authorities.
An yes. Like the IRA men and their families who are greeting and trying to sue: "why didn't you just arrest them instead of breaching their human rights?!" 🤔
And maybe it was done by an IRA member with an Italian sounding name who in fact was working for the British, but had to retain his street credibility. So the dog who ate the dog himself got eaten by another dog. Something like that.

All England has to do is simply free northern Ireland. I understand the need for a reliable food source in the 1100's to the Early 1900's but now it should be Free.
Nope, the issue was the number of loyal citizens from northern Ireland who gave their lives in WW1 and the incredibly overtly Catholic nature of the fledgling Republic of Ireland. You’d have had a much worse and more brutal civil war than the relatively small and benign war for independence. Also it has nothing to do with England, those were the terms agreed by all parties with the UK government for the referendum. You might also want to check the terms of the Belfast agreement. The UK can’t just agree to ‘free’ Northern Ireland, there is a guaranteed cross border referendum built into it. Up to now it’s unlikely the vote would go the way you expect.
Never mind England. First, consult with the roughly 50% of Northern Ireland who already consider themselves "free" and aren't one bit interested in your variety of it.
Well the issue you have is that we settled lots of protestant Scots there 'the Ulster plantation'. Fast forward to now and you got a distinct subculture many of which feel British. They often seem more patriotic than your average Englishman. NI does not give England anything economically these days but it's not as easy as just leaving Look at the mess we made in so many places where we just left without a plan
