Although we have always suspected state agents to have a hand in Daddy’s murder to have it confirmed today and to this extent was traumatic and shocking. Daddy just never stood a chance.

From what little information they are releasing to us as a family (at this late stage) it is evident that there has been blatant collusive behaviour from Day 1

Yet another ploy to derail and delay our efforts to uncover the truth and obtain justice for Daddy. We are disgusted at this cynical manoeuvre and by how little respect the NIO and SOS are showing to my mother. Has she not been through enough!

Appreciative of @hilarybennmp raising our case in Parliament. It is beyond contempt that @chhcalling is challenging the limited disclosure that we did receive. Rather than close our access to the court @chhcalling should do as directed by a HC Judge and convene a public inquiry!

I think tonight of Sean Brown from Bellaghy, taken and shot dead as he closed the gates of his beloved club back in May1997. As a chairperson myself,I do the same many nights. Maybe those investigating the football on Sunday could give the family a wee call.They deserve answers.
