Duties of The ISU
The group was believed to have had a number of briefs:
- Security and character vetting of new recruits to the IRA,
- Collecting and collating material on failed and compromised IRA operations,
- Collecting and collating material on suspect or compromised individuals (informers),
- Interrogation and debriefing of suspects and compromised individuals,
- Carrying out killings of those judged guilty by IRA courts martial.
The ISU was believed to have unlimited access to the members, apparatus, and resources of the IRA in carrying out its duties. Its remit could not be countermanded except by order of the Army Council.
Depositions obtained as part of its operation would ideally be noted on paper, and if possible recorded for the purposes of propaganda.
