Cork’s bloody secret still not fully revealed

BRENDAN CAFFERTY must have seen a different programme than the Cork “bloody secret” I saw on RTÉ. He says “it is commendable to see a light being shone into such a dark corner of our history” (Letters, October 8) . That is precisely what was not done.

I and many others have long known of these killings and I have tried hard, by formal and informal means, to find out who did them, but I failed.

Peter Hart also failed and I am sure he tried as hard as I did. Eoghan Harris did not tell us. Neither did John A Murhpy. Neither does Mr Cafferty.

The first three killings are perfectly explicable and acknowledged as an IRA execution for the killing of one of their commanders. But the others are not yet explicable and resorting to insinuation and guilt by association is not doing justice to history or the descendants of the victims.

Less bombast and more facts, please, Mr Cafferty.
