"[T]he Hutton Inquiry and the Butler report disclose alarming weaknesses at the heart of British government. The JIC, so far from being the font of dispassionate, unbiased, unvarnished intelligence analysis[,]... emerges as a craven creature that allowed the government’s presentational priorities to take precedence over cautious and balanced assessment on the basis of the evidence available."

From 1923 to 1938, Ireland's "security priorities were overwhelmingly domestic." As war approached, however, "a new, elaborate and pervasive security system" was required. Security and intelligence cooperation with Britain "was surprisingly extensive at administrative levels even before the war."

O'Halpin, Eunan. "The Liddell Diaries and British Intelligence History." Intelligence and National Security 20, no. 4 (Dec. 2005): 670-686.
This essay opens with a strong criticism of Nigel West's editing of the first published volume of the diaries [Nigel West, ed., The Guy Liddell Diaries -- 1939-1945: MI5's Director of Counter-Espionage in World War II, 2 vols. (London: Routledge, 2005)]. That is followed by the author's assessment of the diaries based on reading the original manuscript. He concludes that "Liddell's diaries add a great deal not only to our knowledge of MI5 but of wartime intelligence generally.... One of the virtues of the Liddell diaries is that he wrote constantly in the near present, so that he captured not only what was decided but often the alternatives considered at the time, some of which were promptly forgotten and never made it into institutional memory."

From publisher: "Irish neutrality during the Second World War presented Britain with significant challenges to its security..... [T]his book reveals how Britain ... planned sabotage in and spied on Ireland, and at times sought to damage the neutral state's reputation internationally through black propaganda operations." The author "argues that British activities concerning Ireland should be placed in the wider context of intelligence and security problems that Britain faced in other neutral states, particularly Afghanistan and Persia.... [H]e illuminates how Britain dealt with challenges in these countries through a combination of diplomacy, covert gathering of intelligence, propaganda, and intimidation."

According to Peake, Studies 52.1 (Mar. 2008) and Intelligencer 16.1 (Spring 2008), this work contains 15 of the papers presented in 2005 at "a conference at Trinity College in Dublin on intelligence from ancient to contemporary times.... Seven articles discuss the history of Irish intelligence over four centuries, a fascinating topic little reported in literature.... The broad historical perspective of this volume on what works and what does not in intelligence will be of value to students of the profession as they search for answers to today’s intelligence problems."
Skelly, IJI&C 21.4 (Winter 2008-2009), finds that "[w]hile this collection's assessment of intelligence in Ireland is timely, an added benefit is its comparative framework.... Another advantage is its extended timeframe."
