McCabe killers - Self-serving apology masks truth

The apology and expressions of regret by the killers of Jerry McCabe, after almost nine years, seems more like an opportunistic ploy than a sincere expression of remorse.

In the wake of the Northern Bank raid, the Government stated that the release of the four IRA killers was not open to negotiations.

The issue had been firmly closed and yesterday’s statement was essentially an expedient and self-serving recognition of that reality.
