What was Dierdre's Fate?
A mystery to me that is bigger than what was in the Case, is what was Dierdre's fate...
She was already assigned to deal with Seamus because he was a loose cannon. IRA probably would execute her for losing the case in the end, clearly it had ramifications, that the IRA had to make a deal directly after losing what was in the case... but the IRA could have reassigned her and rightly blamed Seamus for the *beep* at the Ice Arena. Dierdre stood toe to toe with Seamus and threw his *beep* right back in his face ... remember he was in trouble and could no longer show his face, and that is why she had to run the team, she might have had to face a tribunal but had a good defense that she did not control the team given to her by the man in the wheelchair and had to move early when the team was not ready, plus needing more members, plus dealing with Seamus *beep* her at the Arle meeting where Sam got shot and Seamus murdered Larry the Driver (needs an Audi with a powerful enough engine that can shovel a bit) I always liked Larry's character.
Killing Larry was probably Seamus's start to killing the whole team including Gregor who now had the case, and he didn't want a fully functioning Mercenary team to wrestle the case away, so he decided to start killing everybody that had no further use to him.... either way that was a clear sign that Seamus was not someone you want to cross. And another indication that Dierdre was not to blame and another indication that this was Seamus's mess to begin with...
