CATHERINE McCartney has said that she does not intend to run in the forthcoming Westminster election, but that her sister Paula may run for Belfast City Council. Arriving back in Ireland, Catherine said the British and Irish governments must help in the McCartneys’ campaign for justice for their murdered brother. “It’s no good just sitting on the sidelines calmly giving support, we need action. Not just from Sinn Fein, who created the wall of silence, but also from the Irish and British governments to make sure that they do something so that the wall of silence is broken down.”
We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!
For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.
Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.
If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
