Originally , the '' Irish Political Review '' was inimical towards Irish Republicans and supported the use of the Diplock Court system and Section 31 against Republicans . However , it moved away from this position and currently expresses support for Irish Republican parties In the late 1990s the '' Irish Political Review '' came to public notice when it began running articles strongly critical towards the work of Peter Hart , especially Hart 's account of the Dunmanway killings . The '' Irish Political Review '' also ran a series of articles by Brendan Clifford and Jack Lane about the wartime intelligence work of writer Elizabeth Bowen , claiming this meant that the Anglo-Irish Bowen was thus not an Irish writer . These articles were later published as the Athol Books publication '' Notes on Eire : Espionage Reports to Winston Churchill , 1940 – 2 '' ( 1999 ) . The magazine also published an article by Joe Keenan strongly hostile towards former Irish Taoiseach Garret FitzGerald , claiming that Fitzgerald 's reputation for intelligence and integrity was unjustified
