Investigative journalism

As well as titillation, the paper is known for its investigative journalism and the controversies the investigations produces. The Sunday World was the first newspaper to name Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness as members of the Army Council of the IRA for which legal action was never pursued. It named individuals which assisted in laundering £22m from the Northern Bank robbery and those it believed killed Robert McCartney.

Following an August 2005 Sunday World article that poked fun at the gambling losses of one of its leaders, the UDA "banned" the sale of the Sunday World newspaper from shops in areas it controls. Shops that defy the ban have suffered arson attacks, and at least one newsagent was threatened with death.

In 2001, a journalist working for the paper in Northern Ireland, Martin O'Hagan, was brutally murdered by Loyalist paramilitaries in Lurgan, Co Armagh. O'Hagan was the first journalist to draw attention to the activities of a man called Billy Wright, one of the worst loyalist sectarian assassins to emerge in the troubles. Wright lived only a few miles from O'Hagan in north Armagh, and had attempted to have the journalist murdered in 1992. The threat was sufficient to cause O'Hagan to temporarily move to the Sunday World office in Dublin, and then to Cork. He continued working for the newspaper, returning to his family in Lurgan in the late 1990s. When killed, O'Hagan became the first reporter covering the Northern Ireland conflict to be killed by paramilitaries. [4] [5] Image File history File links Sw_logo. ...

On May 1, 2005 it alleged double standards by a prominent member of the Democratic Unionist Party. It claimed that the unionist politician, Paul Berry had been caught in a sting operation by the newspaper when he met a male masseur in a room booked under a false name in a Belfast hotel. According to the paper, Berry asked the man upon meeting him: "I hope you're a Prod?" Berry denied the allegations, claiming that he was seeking treatment for a sports injury, and is considering legal action. In the 2005 general election five days later Berry was the DUP candidate for Newry and Armagh but was one of the few DUP candidates to experience a fall in their share of the vote in favour of the Ulster Unionist Party while everywhere else in the province the DUP gained at the expense of its main rival. The DUP were to the forefront in the campaign of the 1970s and 1980s to stop the decriminalisation of homosexuality in Northern Ireland. On July 4, 2005 it was announced that Berry had been suspended from the DUP following an internal disciplinary panel meeting.

The paper has also been prominent in its exposure of criminals in the Republic. As a result of his controversial exposés, its Crime Correspondent, Paul Williams, has received death threats and on occasion needed Garda Siochána (Irish Police) protection. Paul Williams is the name of three popular music musicians: Paul Williams, songwriter for Carpenters and many others, as well as actor in movies and TV.

Often Williams' stories contain quotations from "Garda sources" or other unattributable figures that cannot be verified. In January 2007 he described the corrupt Garda activities detailed in the report of the Morris Tribunal as "the work of a few rogues" on the Late Late Show and lamented the fact that the Garda Síochána does not have a free hand in criminal investigations. He has referred to the PSNI as the weakest police force in Europe because of the oversight of the Northern Ireland Police Ombudsman Nuala O'Loan and decries attempts to establish a similar system in the Republic of Ireland.

In 2005 the paper was sued by a well known Dublin criminal figure Martin "the Viper" Foley after it reported that he was a leading figure in gang related crime and had links with the IRA elements. Foley argued that the report placed his life in jeopardy and sought to gag the paper.The attempt failed as the High Court rejected his allegations and refused to prevent further reporting. Hyland was murdered on 12 December 2006 along with a young plumber's apprentice, Anthony Campbell, who happened to be working in the house Hyland was staying in.

In 2000 the Sunday World paid substantial damages and apologised to Hyland after a barrister acknowledged in the High Court that allegations Williams had made about him in the paper were "absolutely false".

In 2006 the paper exposed the controversial so-called lawyer Giovanni di Stefano as a fake when he attempted to act on behalf of criminal Patrick "Dutchy" Holland.De Stefano retaliated by making wild allegations against its crime reporter Paul Williams ,similar to those made against reporters in The Scotsman after his failed attempt to take over the football club,Dundee. It was also responsible for the exclusive ground breaking story linking Northern Irish football fan sites to other sites through adverts displayed on their headline banners. This marvellous piece of investigative journalism by John Cassidy made it the envy of the European media. Mr Cassidy and the Sunday World do certainly deserve each other. Giovanni di Stefano (b. ...
