IRA Tries a Little DiversionThey
issue a denial of something that nobody claims:
In an Easter statement published in An Phoblacht, the paramilitary group said the [Robert McCartney] killing "was wrong, it was murder, it was a crime.But it was not carried out by the IRA, nor was it carried out on behalf of the IRA."We all agree on that point; that it was simply a pub brawl including some people that happened to belong to the IRA. However, the IRA participated in the coverup of the incident, and their claims later in the statement that they have done everything they could ring hollow.
