I was abducted by IRA, reveals FG senator
In an emotional speech to the Seanad last week, the Fine Gael senator said he was confronted by a three-man gang wearing balaclavas who forced him into the back of his car at gunpoint as he was about to attend a political function in the Co Limerick village of Croagh.
Mr Finucane claimed he initially believed the incident was part of a premature April Fool’s joke as it had occurred on March 31, 1990, shortly after he had become a newly-elected TD for the Limerick West constituency.
