GAA president Jarlath Burns said there were “so many unanswered questions” remaining around the killing of GAA official Sean Brown
GAA president Jarlath Burns says there is “anger” in the GAA over a British Government decision not to hold a public inquiry into the murder of Sean Brown 27 years ago. GAA official Sean Brown, 61, was abducted and killed by loyalist paramilitaries as he locked the gates at Bellaghy Wolfe Tones Club in Co Derry in May 1997. Nobody has ever been convicted of his murder.
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.
