New documents reveal Sinn Fein TD Dessie Ellis is believed to have been involved in fifty murders during the Troubles.
According to the Irish Independent, secret internal communications within the British government suggest Mr Ellis - who was a member of the IRA - has been forensically linked to deaths both north and south of the border.
The Dublin North-West deputy declined to comment on the newly released papers from 1982.
