===Holroyd===
[[Secret Intelligence Service|MI6]] operative [[Captain Fred Holroyd]] said Nairac admitted involvement in the assassination of IRA member [[John Francis Green]] on 10 January 1975 to him. Holroyd claimed in a ''[[New Statesman]]'' article written by [[Duncan Campbell (investigative journalist)|Duncan Campbell]] that Nairac had boasted about Green's death and showed him a colour [[Instant film|Polaroid]] photograph of Green's corpse taken directly after his assassination.<ref>Rolston, Bill and Gilmartin, Mairead: ''Unfinished business: state killings and the quest for truth''.

These claims were given prominence when, in 1987, [[Ken Livingstone]] [[Member of Parliament|MP]] told the House of Commons that Nairac was quite likely to have been the person who organised the [[Miami Showband killings]].<ref>Livingstone, Ken ''You Can't Say That'' pp 294–5</ref>
