McCartney family urged to back off by McGuinness

SINN FÉIN last night gave the first sign of irritation with the campaign to find justice for Robert McCartney when Martin McGuinness bluntly warned the family to back off.

The party's chief negotiator claimed the campaign by the McCartney sisters to find justice for their brother could be open to manipulation by Sinn Féin's political opponents and the PSNI.

Over the past number of weeks, Sinn Féin has consistently said it fully supports the five sisters and Mr McCartney's fiancee in their campaign.
