Having returned to live in Newry , rather than maintaining a low profile Collins decided to take a prominent role in the ongoing transition of Ulster 's post-war society , using his personal history as a platform in the media to analyze the adverse effects of terrorism . In 1995 he appeared in an ITV television documentary entitled ' Confession ' , giving an account of his disillusioning experiences and a bleak insight into Irish Republican paramilitarism . In 1997 he co-authored '' Killing Rage '' , with journalist Mick McGovern , a biographical account of his life and IRA career . He also contributed to the book '' Bandit Country '' by Toby Harnden about the South Armagh IRA . At the same time in the media he called for the re-introduction of Internment after the Omagh bombing for those continuing to engage in such acts ; published newspaper articles openly denouncing and ridiculing the fringe '' Real IRA 's '' attempts to re-ignite paramilitary warfare in Ulster , alongside publicly analyzing his own past role in such activity , and the damage that it had caused on a personal and social level to the two communities of Ulster
