Thank you for writing this article it needs to be told there are so many stories like this across the country that are pigeonholed into a convenient place for the dream of peace. The gun men and bombers can try and play normal but they’re not. The truth shall out.
As an Irishman myself, it's something I've written extensively about in the past. This is the very worst form of “whataboutism”. I’m embarrassed for you coming out with a comment like that.
Audrey Magee includes this atrocity in her wonderful novel The Colony. It’s good that you have called this out now - the getaway driver was an SF candidate later in local elections in Waterford. No shame.
Thank you for ensuring Eamon Ryan’s murder is not forgotten.
A very emotive piece - especially that bit about how he kicked the dying man, and the fact that his 3 year old son witnessed this barbaric and unnecessary act.
Sinn Fein keep on elevating their past terrorist and murderers to positions of party influence.
They are not the political-only party they pretend to be.

Now write a piece about the murders and brutality visited on the Irish by British soldiers
No you’re not. You’re embarrassing in your tiny fit of spite when you’re challenged.
An idiot of such preponderance i’m surprised you’re literate.

Well, at least he wasn’t elected.
Yes, at least that - small mercies

Thank you Deirdre.
Beautifully written.
The refusal to let euphemism obscure physical human reality made this genuinely haunting to read.
