Inquiry urged into murder of councillor

THE family of a murdered Donegal councillor yesterday renewed calls for an independent public inquiry — 15 years after the killing by loyalist paramilitaries.

Inquiry urged into murder of councillor

Eddie Fullerton’s children said many questions remained unanswered about the night loyalist gunmen crossed the Border, burst into their parents’ home in Buncrana and shot their father dead in front of their mother. Allegations of collusion between the loyalist death squad and British intelligence and questions about the role played by gardaí prior to the murder and in the investigation have dogged the incident since.

Three gardaí centrally involved in the investigation were discredited by the Morris Tribunal last year and councils on both sides of the Border support family calls for a public inquiry.
