THE Guardian newspaper has said it will review articles written by veteran journalist Roy Greenslade after a complaint from Máiría Cahill.
The move comes after Mr Greenslade revealed further details of his support for the IRA's armed campaign during the Troubles.
The former Fleet Street editor confirmed he is a member of Sinn Féin and previously contributed articles to An Phoblacht under the name George King.
Writing for the British Journalism Review, Mr Greenslade said: "I wanted peace and played a very minor role as messenger at a crucial moment during the process itself.
"But I understand why the conflict occurred and do not regret my support for those who fought it.
"I am pleased at last to come out from hiding and explain myself to everyone."
A former Daily Mirror editor and journalist for the Sunday Times and Sun, Mr Greenslade also wrote a weekly column about the media for The Guardian for 25 years.
In 2014 he wrote a Guardian article after a BBC Spotlight programme about allegations of rape made by Ms Cahill against an alleged IRA member and her subsequent questioning by the paramilitary group.
Earlier this week The Guardian said its independent readers’ editor had received a complaint from Ms Cahill and was investigating.
“The readers’ editor will also be reviewing other historical Roy Greenslade articles concerning Northern Ireland, to ensure that they meet The Guardian’s editorial standards and are sufficiently transparent.”
Ms Cahill said Mr Greenslade should now "now publish every single thing that he wrote [under a pseudonym]".
"An Phoblacht has not included the ‘George King’ articles in their archive.
"In what way was he a messenger?"
She also asked if The Guardian will stand over Mr Greenslade's previous work.
“I would find it very strange that if Sinn Fein or the IRA felt that there was someone in a position of influence in England, the whole way through the conflict, that they wouldn’t be sending him information to print," she told the News Letter.
Mr Greenslade (74) has faced criticism from journalists following his recent article, with prime minister Boris Johnson also condemning his comments.
He said this week he has resigned from his position as honorary visiting professor of journalism at London’s City University.
Defending his position, he told the Press Gazette: “I did nothing more than the scores of journalists who keep their political views to themselves. My opinions did not affect my journalistic work, nor did they affect my university teaching."
