Mr Greenslade has recently disclosed details of his long-held support for the IRA's armed campaign. In the wake of this Ms Cahill appealed to both the Taoiseach and Ms Martin to remove Mr Rusbridger from the Future of Media Commission. “I have reflected on the serious issues raised by Máiría Cahill in her engagement with both myself and An Taoiseach. Mr Rusbridger also said that Mr Greenslade had kept his “sympathy for the Provisional IRA secret from his colleagues and editors”. So, I am sincerely sorry to Máiría Cahill, both for the article and for the upset it must have caused her."
