‘Jungle justice’ is not confined to the IRA

WHAT’S all the hullabaloo about the IRA’s “jungle justice”, as your political correspondent Harry McGee called it?

In 1984, an RUC man was acquitted of the murder of Seamus Grew. Mr Justice McDermott praised him for his sharp-shooting!

In 1982, the RUC killed three unarmed men. The policemen were left walk free from court by Mr Justice Gibson who commended them "for bringing the deceased to the final court of justice".
