When the Provisional IRA murdered Robert McCartney in Belfast it continued to intimidate his family for a long period, forcing some of them to emigrate. The same thing seems to be happening in Dublin at present. That organisation, not content with murdering Joe Rafferty also, now continues to intimidate his sister who decided to run for the local elections to highlight her brother's case and campaign for justice. Five thugs smashed in her car and it is stated that the incident is related to her contesting the local election, especially against the Sinn Féin candidate. The Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform should ensure that this case is thoroughly investigated and the perpetrators of the crime are brought to justice.
