If the case is the one I'm thinking of, I understand that the offence was not actually the one being bayed about, but a technicality that only the IFA could have known about.
As I've wittered on about before, active policing is not a viable proposition, in the sense that I understand it to be meant in these discussions. I stand to be corrected but I can't think of another profession that has institutional policeman popping in to inspect work in progress on a reguklar (or irregular) basis. Generally they are all reactive, and respond to reports or complaints - often by other members of the profession keen to maintain the integrity of that profession.
We owe the dead nothing but the truth.
