## Resource

Raymond Gilmour was born and raised in Derry and decided to become an informer as a teenager. He joined the INLA and then the Provisional IRA and all the while he was passing information on to the RUC and British Army. Then when he was exposed as an informer, upwards of 100 people were arrested on his testimony alone. But the toll paid by an informer is indeed a heavy one, and was it worth it?
