The republican movement has been urged to acknowledge its error after a report from Operation Kenova found there is no evidence that a Co Tyrone man, Damian McCrory, was an informer for the British army.
McCrory, who was 20 and had learning difficulties, was abducted, interrogated, and killed by the IRA on October 7, 1985.
The IRA accused him of providing information that led to the British army's fatal shooting of three of its members: Charles Breslin and brothers Michael and David Devine, who were killed near an arms dump on the outskirts of Strabane in February 1985.
The findings of Operation Kenova, which investigates crimes committed by agents and informers during the Troubles, debunk the IRA's long-held claim.
The report's conclusion is a significant development in the ongoing effort to bring truth and reconciliation to the region's troubled past.
The call for the republican movement to admit it was wrong is a step toward addressing historical injustices and providing closure for the families of those affected.
McCrory's family has long maintained his innocence, and the report's findings vindicate their position.
The case highlights the devastating impact of internal suspicion and conflict within paramilitary groups during the Troubles, where individuals could be targeted and killed based on unproven accusations.
The report's findings contribute to a more accurate historical record and challenge the narratives that have justified violence and tragedy for decades.
