Republicans ‘must do more’ to end families’ suffering

REPUBLICANS must do more to end the suffering of families whose loved ones mysteriously vanished during Northern Ireland’s Troubles, the SDLP said yesterday.

Following Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams’s appeal for information about the disappearance of Armagh men Gerard Evans and Charlie Armstrong, SDLP Assembly member Dominic Bradley said it was not good enough for Sinn Féin and the Irish Republican Socialist Party to simply say the abduction, murder and secret burials of people were wrong.

He called on the Provisional IRA and INLA to do more to end the suffering of families of the disappeared.
