McCartney murder - Sinn Féin’s outrageous hypocrisy

THE groundbreaking decision by the European Parliament to back the sisters of Belfast man, Robert McCartney, by funding their legal campaign to bring his killers to justice, deserves to be loudly applauded.

But the decision of two Sinn Féin MEPs to vote against the money coming from the fund for victims of terror deserves to be condemned in the strongest terms.

By claiming the murder was not political, they have displayed the outrageous hypocrisy of a party which time and again makes a mockery of the democratic process.
