GAA official Sean Brown was abducted and killed by loyalist paramilitaries
There is “anger” in the GAA over a Government decision not to hold a public inquiry into the murder of Sean Brown 27 years ago, Jarlath Burns has said.
Preliminary inquest proceedings had already heard that in excess of 25 people had been linked by intelligence to the murder, including several state agents. It had also been alleged in court that surveillance of a suspect in the murder was temporarily stopped on the evening of the killing, only to resume again the following morning.
Mr Burns told the BBC Sunday Politics programme: “If there was disappointment in the GAA about the Casement decision, there was quite a lot of anger about this. Last week, Mr Benn announced that a public inquiry would be established into the murder of solicitor Pat Finucane, who was shot dead in front of his family at their Belfast home in 1989.
