Revelation about Brian Stack’s murder was sinister and self-serving By Gerard Howlin
If you run out of hope, you run out of road. Hope comes many ways. Last week it came for the family of the late prison officer Brian Stack after a detour with Gerry Adams to an undisclosed location in a blacked out van. The party that sells the most hope wins.
Brian Stack was a prison officer in Portlaoise in the 1980s. The so-called Troubles were at their height. A lot of so called republican prisoners were in gaol there. In 1983 he was shot outside the National Boxing Stadium on Dublin’s South Circular Road. He died after a harrowing, debilitating 18 months of brain injury induced distress and dependency.
