Michael Lillis

Irish diplomat
==Anglo-Irish negotiations==
::The first tentative contacts between the British and the Irish took place in 1982. David Goodall, a senior British diplomat attached to the Cabinet Office, from a Catholic family with connections to Ireland, began talking to Michael Lillis, a senior Irish diplomat, ferociously clever and with staunch republican antecedents. The NIO disapproved of the whole exercise and, as a result, was largely kept out of the loop. The negotiations were conducted in great secrecy with Goodall joined by the Cabinet Secretary Robert Armstrong on the British side and Lillis joined by another senior Irish diplomat, Sean Donlon, along with Dermot Nally, the Irish Cabinet Secretary.Great Hatred, Little Room, Making Peace in Northern Ireland by Jonathan Powell,The Bodley Head, 2008, p59.

Michael Maltby

Michael Maltby was an MI5 officer killed in the Mull of Kintyre Chinook crash.The 29 who died, The Guardian, 6 February 2002.
According to intelligence writer Stephen Dorril was amongst the most important of the MI5 officers who died:
::The key person of the six and a totally irreplaceable loss to the Service and the countering of the IRA in particular. As I understand it, Maltby - on his second tour of duty in the province - ran the unit monitoring the IRA's collecting and laundering of funds. During the seventies, when MI5 had no responsibility for the IRA, only the Loyalist terror groups, Maltby ran a one man operation keeping track of IRA funds. It would be difficult, if not impossible, to replace such an institutional memory. It is fortunate for MI5 that the cease-fire has made that, for the moment, unnecessary.Stephen Dorril, Lobster95, Issue 29, p.14. 
The unit Dorril describes may be the Anti-Racketeering Unit (Northern Ireland)
