Cumann Lúthchleas Gael welcomes the decision of High Court Judge Mr Justice Humphreys in Belfast today to call for a full public inquiry into the murder of Seán Brown in Randalstown in May 1997.

The Association lauds the steadfast commitment of the Brown family and their efforts to establish the truth around the murder of the former Bellaghy Wolfe Tones Chairperson.

GAA President Jarlath Burns, who was present in court today said: “The perseverance of the Brown family over a 27-year period is an example to us all.

“They have endured a torturous process but have never wavered in their conviction to find out who was behind the events that led to Seán's brutal murder that night after locking up their GAA Club in South Derry.

“The GAA stands fully behind the family’s ongoing efforts to establish the truth and seek justice in Seán’s memory.”
