I read these tragic murder stories, in particular with Robert McCartney and feel absolute disgust toward my fellow Irish citizens who were drinking in this bar the day of the murder. An innocent man has been murdered, a man who is a husband and a father to two young children. We have over 70 witnesses - yet not one person has the courage to come forward to give evidence. Now I am seeing more layers to the awful criminal activity that takes place in my hometown.... not only are you dealing with a war between Nationalists & Loyalists but you are killing your own kind. This is barbaric behaviour... how they think they have the right to take another persons life over something so pathetic. Only a strong man with wisdom - can put aside his ego, hatred and frustration for a more peaceful solution. The adults of Ireland should strive to instill positivity in all of their children as they are the future and hope for a better life in Ireland.
