Presumably you are aware that the IRA leadership was factionalised at that time and that while Mr Ó Brádaigh may have been unaware of a verbal offer made by spooks other members of the then Army Council including GA and MMG may very well have been aware of it. |
Your point is?

I don't give much thought to the present internal workings of either the RNU or the IRSP and Kevin McQuillan is not significant to the overall hunger strike debate. Go ahead now and clarify what you mean by such agenda exposing terminology as "colourful conspiracy theory."

There is no evidence to suggest that McQuillan was told of the offer and there is evidence to suggest that IRA prisoners and their families weren't told of the offer so it's pretty reasonable to conclude that he had no knowledge of the offer, thus your increasingly ridiculous attempt to signify McQuillan's relevance is utterly without merit.
