- This is episode 3 in a special 4 part series.
In 'A Spy in Exile - Defying Double Death' former British agent Martin McGartland talks about the day that changed his life forever.
Kidnapped by the IRA and awaiting execution, the unmasked MI5 spy manages to escape torture and death. But that day wasn't to be his worst.
Despite starting a top secret life under the protection of the British security services away from Northern Ireland, he goes on to miracously survive IRA assassination yet again.
Here, he describes how his disdain and anger isn't directed at the terror gang that tried to kill him twice, but for his so-called protectors.
During the Northern Ireland Troubles, Martin McGartland was one of MI5's most priceless assets. Born into a staunchly republican family in the IRA heartland of west Belfast in the 1970s, the British spy, codenamed Agent Carol, went on to infiltrate one of the most feared and ruthless terror gangs in the world. He stopped shootings, bombings and murders but his fearless undercover activities came at a price. Now living in exile under a secret identity, McGartland gives his most in depth and explosive interview to date. And he reveals how MI5 ended up treating him worse than the IRA who tried to murder him.
30 pieces of silver never goes too far .
Education is the way forward for People like Martin.
This is very interesting. I was actually one of the people (the other 3 were the rest of my family) who helped Marty after he was shot. I can still remember it vividly. Absolutely horrific. I can also confirm what he says at 1:06:00, the sirens of the ambulances only a couple of streets away, not getting closer as we did everything to stop him bleeding to death felt like hours. I remember running to the bottom of the street and I saw two police officers just sitting on the bonnet of their car, not even bothering to look around the corner where the shooting took place. I screamed and swore at them so loudly I genuinely thought I might get arrested later.
This is incredible. The 3 episodes have flown past so fast it felt like 10 minutes. Dying to hear more from Marty.
False sense of 'security' ...this is heartbreaking and eye opening.Thankyou Martin and Tricia...have notifications on to listen to Part 4
Thank you Fiona for listening ❤️❤️❤️
Totally wasn't expecting this til next week thanks for putting it up
No problem Melissa, going to be uploading videos in future on same day as audio apps x
Thanks for puttin this up so soon 🙏
Why didn’t he join the army, or cops, if he wanted to make a contribution, to the prevention of IRA activities, ‘Instead of becoming a grass.’
I mean he’s complaining about living a shit life now, what did he expect. They wished you as dead as much as the IRA.
How on Earth could this guy hope to live undercover in any part of England ? He would stand out like a sore thumb in any neighbourhood.
Was looking forward to this coming back. Great podcast
Very interesting interview, thanks for all the hard work in putting this together, looking forward to whatevers coming next! M.
Great podcast. It is extraordinary to listen to Martin and i would say that Patricia has an incredible intuition with him that allows him to get out what he is clearly in desperation to let the people know. I won't give an opinion on Martins actions either way. Thank you Patricia for making these podcasts, so many people in N.ireland/S. Ireland have an appetite for the history of the troubles.
Can't wait for part 4 👍
Brilliant podcast so far. Agree or disagree that’s what it’s about, that’s what we’re not given in the mainstream media. 👍🏼
I see him as a tout, a disgrace to his community and family, like many others, but I never lived his life. It’s interest in others views. 👍🏼
Thank you Paul for being open to listening 😊 That’s so important
Really enjoying this series 👌 thanks Patricia

The maiden city were the girls are so pretty especially yourself. Take care and thanks for your time & effort in making your content. Its much appreciated cheers
A Tout doing book signing..... 😂😂
If this tout truly believed that his actions were righteous and noble, then he wouldn't be speaking anonymously. He's what we call a "coward" and a "grass" here in England.
"Doing the double " was always a way of life in the North.
Only difference was the bru didn't usually wanna nut ye for doing the double
Fair play he dne it in style even got away from death
