Press Release/Preas Ráiteas Republican SINN FÉIN Poblachtach RUC DISRUPT FUNERAL IN TYRONE Republican Sinn Féin condemns the actions of the British Crown Forces in seeking to disrupt the funeral of Tyrone Republican Molly McCaughey, who was buried on Monday, 5th May. “An RUC helicopter was flying low over the estate as the remains left her Dungannon home,” a spokesperson for Republican Sinn Féin said. “The area was also saturated with land rovers, with the British Colonial Police photographing and videoing the proceedings. As the funeral cortège arrived at Edendork for Requiem Mass, the helicopter continued to hover overhead. “We extend our sincere condolences to the family of the late Molly McCaughey, whose son Fian James McCaughey was murdered by British-backed Loyalist death squads on St. Patrick's Day in 1976, and condemn unreservedly the British Forces of Occupation for their show of strength during the funeral proceedings. “Such activities can only cease once the British have departed our shores. We would encourage people to become involved with the Republican Movement so that we might achieve our goal – a goal for which Molly's son made the supreme sacrifice.” ENDS

Hopefully Ms. McCaughey can rest in peace today, since she wasn't allowed that on Monday. :x
