We never were confronted with that problem all of those CathoLIC RUC men were posted to area were they were not known, I do remember an RUC man setting up one of his Catholic colleagues this was in Cushendall Co Antrim in the early 1970s.

That RUC man was in a loyalist organisation , Catholic RUC men had to have very thick skins, as a regular ex-RUC man keeps relating in numerous letters to the Irish News,they wouldn`t trust their Catholic mates with any information, regarding raids etc, seeing that the raids were generally carried out on Nationalist districts.

The IRA need not have bothered with intimidating those Catholic RUC men there was plenty of UDA,UVF etc in the RUC, the many cases of collusion with the loyalists murder squads and the various branches of the security forces bear this out.
