He and other victims are now demanding that the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) reveals whether Finnegan was an informer who passed intelligence on republican targets. There’s claims many clergy knew Finnegan was a paedophile while crimes were on-going. He represents 40 of Finnegan’s victims, with multiple cases on-going. An attempt to force the PSNI to confirm or deny that Finnegan was an informer failed in court. Another victim, Tony Gribben, says that in his case alone, he suspects up to 15 members of the clergy, and people connected to a school where he was abused by Finnegan, knew what was happening.
