Submitting Office:
Brooklyn Arms Trial in a “New
York Newsday' article about
Indexing:
Noraid's current problems, Mi-
chael Flannery commented on
$17,000 that at the trial he stated
had been a "loan" given to one of
the otherdefendants to buy arms.
Asked by ‘Newsday's' Paul
Colford whether, in fact, the
money had come from Noraid
funds, Flannery replied, "Well,
of course, at the time we swore
that it wasn't but actually it was
:INA (Irish Northern Aid)
money... (but) nobody knew it
was INA money. I had a legiti-
mate receipt for that money hav-
ing been transferred over (to Ire-
land), but it wasn't."
This extraordinary remark has
angered a number of people in
Noraid who are wondering why
at this stage Flannery decided to
make such an incriminating
statement. In the present atmos-
phere, with the exit of Flannery
and a number of others from
Noraid, some are suspicious of
the intent of this public admis-
sion.
