The World - News from March 25, 1985
The Irish Republican Army said it killed a man who had provided information to police, and it offered what it called a 14-day amnesty to other informers. An IRA statement in Dublin said John Corcoran, 45, father of eight, was killed after revealing “under questioning” that for several years he had provided police with information, including that which led to the arrest of three men charged with a 1981 post office robbery. Corcoran’s body was found in a County Mayo farmhouse in the Irish Republic.
