Recorded before his 1981 conviction for abusing boys at Kincora Boys’ Home, the tape reveals his unhinged blend of evangelical zeal and mythic extremism — offering a disturbing window into the mind of a man who wielded power in both religious and paramilitary circles. Obtained by Belfast Telegraph’s Sam McBride, the recording not only exposes McGrath’s ideology but also deepens our understanding of how such a figure could gain influence while committing heinous crimes — a haunting echo of duality that lingers decades later.
