Council schools chief resigns after being exposed as IRA 'traitor' living on the run

[emad]

As disguises go, it must rank as one of the most improbable. Not even the finest brains among the Provisional IRA, told to hunt down traitors, could have guessed that their quarry would go undercover and construct a new life as a Tory politician. In Croydon.

Maria Gatland yesterday resigned as Croydon council's education chief after she was revealed to have been a romantic companion of the Provisionals' leader and had later fled Ireland in disgrace.

The South London authority confirmed her departure with a brief statement. “The council has been advised Maria Gatland has resigned as a cabinet member for children, young people and learners. This follows emerging news of her connection to the Provisional IRA - which has come as a complete shock to Croydon. The council wants to make it emphatically clear it had no prior knowledge of her background,” it said.

The only comment from Ms Gatland, born Maria McGuire, was even more terse: “I have resigned. I'm not prepared to say any more at this stage.” Her Conservative colleagues were apparently unaware of her colourful past until yesterday.

3. How bizarre

*Education* chief, of all things. In Croydon. Somehow I am reminded of the song about the big bad burglar hiding from the police, who disguises himself as "Sister Josephine" and lives in a convent!

4. Peer champions Tory axed for links with IRA

Lord Trimble insists ousted Croydon councillor Gatland would still have a job in Northern IrelandHenry McDonald, Ireland editor
The Observer, Sunday December 7 2008

Nobel peace prize winner and Tory peer Lord Trimble yesterday defended the Conservative Party councillor sacked from her post as the education chief, because of past links with the IRA.

Trimble also admitted that Councillor Maria Gatland would not have been forced out of office if she had been in Northern Ireland.

Gatland was forced to quit her office on Croydon council in south London, after she was unmasked as an interpreter for the Provisional IRA on arms-buying missions in the early Seventies.

Speaking at the Ulster Unionist Party's annual conference in Belfast, Trimble repeated the line he advocated in dealing with ex-terrorists while he was still UUP leader: 'Just because you have a past, doesn't mean you can't have a future.'

The Nobel laureate used this line to justify going into a power-sharing government with Sinn Fein following the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, even though a number of republicans elected to the Stormont Assembly were convicted IRA prisoners
