Sinn Fein Candidate In Bar on Night of McCartney MurderThis is going to
make it tougher for Sinn Fein to claim that they're cooperating fully.
Cora Groogan, who ran for Sinn Fein in the November 2003 Assembly elections in Martin McGuinness`s Mid Ulster constituency, admitted to the Press Association she was in Magennis`s bar on January 30 when a fight erupted resulting in the murder of Mr McCartney.
During the attack, Mr McCartney`s friend Brendan Devine also sustained serious stab wounds.
However, she insisted she saw nothing inside the bar and confirmed she had given a full statement to her solicitor.
The Sinn Fein member said: "I got to the bar about 10.00pm
that Sunday. I was there for a short while.
"There was a commotion in the bar but I witnessed nothing and left shortly after 11.00pm.Let me guess, she was in the
TARDIS, errr, bathroom.
