NEWTON, Mass. — A federal judge in Boston on Tuesday dismissed a lawsuit that sought to block federal subpoenas for Boston College transcripts and recordings of interviews with former members of the Irish Republican Army.
The plaintiffs contend that release of the interviews could endanger the lives of former IRA members and undermine Northern Ireland’s peace.
The ruling was a minor victory for U.S. prosecutors. But a federal appeals court will likely have the ultimate say in whether the controversial interviews from a Boston College oral history project will eventually be handed over to police in Northern Ireland.
