MEPs back McCartney sisters’ fight for justice

THE European Parliament yesterday approved an unprecedented motion on the use of EU funds to help the McCartney family to bring the IRA killers of their brother to justice.

A total of 555 MEPs voted for the motion, while four voted against, with 48 abstentions.

The resolution will make anti-terrorist funds available to finance a civil action if the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) is unable to bring a criminal prosecution in the case.
