IRA issues apology for 1990 killing

The IRA has issued an apology for the killing of a man 17 years ago.

Eoin Morley was shot and killed in Newry on April 15th 1990.

At the time, allegations were made that he was an informer.

In the course of a lengthy interview in An Phoblacht in November 1992, the IRA leadership described those allegations as "incorrect and totally inaccurate".

A statement in the current edition of An Phoblacht by the IRA apologises to the Morley family for the grief and pain they have suffered as a result of their actions.
