In May 1997, Sean Brown, a father of six, was abducted and murdered by the Loyalist Volunteer Force gang while locking up the gates of Bellaghy Wolfe Tones GAA club in County Derry. Sean's courageous wife, Bridie, and his family have fought for almost 30 years to uncover the truth about his murder. Last year at an inquest hearing, it emerged that more than 25 people had been linked by intelligence to the murder, including several British state agents. The British Government has refused to hold an independent public inquiry into Sean's murder, as previously directed by the High Court. Last week the Court of Appeal in Belfast ruled that the British Government's refusal to hold a public inquiry into his murder cannot stand and is unlawful. Will the Taoiseach directly engage with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and urge him to accept the unequivocal High Court ruling and grant a full public inquiry into the murder of Sean Brown?
