Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

Regarding the most recent IRA statement on the murder of Robert McCartney, I want to register my disappointment on two counts. I am disappointed that a physical attack on those responsible was even contemplated. I am further disappointed that the IRA statement, which is a very detailed account of what occurred and a positive contribution to achieving the truth, has been, in the main, wilfully ignored. I urge people to re-evaluate it.

I again commend the Sinn Féin president, Gerry Adams, for his continuing role in support of the McCartney family's search for truth and justice which I support 100%.
