Second Sinn Féin candidate was in bar when McCartney was attacked
The party disclosed that Deirdre Hargey was still inside Magennis’s Bar when police first arrived. But she denied seeing the brawl leading to the horrific knife attack which left Mr McCartney, 33, dying on the street outside.
Ms Hargey, 23, is a community development worker due to stand in May’s local government elections. She said: “I did not witness the fracas in the bar, or the incident outside the bar.”
