Go-ahead for inquiry into man’s death

THE Government looks set to give the go-ahead to a public inquiry into the killing of Seamus Ludlow by suspected loyalist paramilitaries 32 years ago.

The Ludlow family has been campaigning for a public hearing since the mid 1990s when they discovered gardaí did not interview four suspects thought to have been involved in the murder of the Louth man.

Following a meeting with the Taoiseach Bertie Ahern in Government Buildings yesterday, the family said they are confident an inquiry will go ahead.
