Ludlow movement soon?
The Dublin Department of Justice has amnnounced that the Minister
for Justice, John O'Donoghue, ``hopes to put proposals to ...the
Irish government as soon as possible'' to end the impasse over an
inquiry into the killing of Séamus Ludlow.
The Celtic League had added its voice to calls for an independent
enquiry into the assassination of the County Louth forestry
worker in 1976.
Ludlow was killed in an apparently sectarian attack by a loyalist
paramilitary gang. Controversy has surrounded the brutal killing
for many years and there is believed to have been knowledge of or
complicity in the killing by the British Security Services.
Following requests from the Ludlow family, the Celtic League
wrote to the Irish Premier, Bertie Ahern, backing calls for a
public inquiry in line with their wishes. Parallel correspondence
to the Northern Secretary querying the extent of British Security
Services collusion prompted an ambivalent response via the RUC.
The League has expressed its hope that the Dublin government will
move soon to resolve the inertia around the case.
