Peer to make Quinn killers claim IRA 'may have barn murder role'
(1 day later)
A UUP peer is expected to name the men he believes killed south Armagh man Paul Quinn. Current and former members of the IRA may have been involved in the murder of south Armagh man Paul Quinn last month, the ceasefire watchdog has said.
Lord Laird will use parliamentary privilege to name the men in the upper house.
Mr Quinn, 21, died after being severely beaten at farm buildings near Oram, County Monaghan, last month.Mr Quinn, 21, died after being severely beaten at farm buildings near Oram, County Monaghan, last month.
His family said the IRA killed the 21-year-old after he had defied an order to leave the country. Sinn Fein denies any republican involvement. The Independent Monitoring Commission said it stemmed from a local dispute but it was too early to say if it was authorised by the IRA leadership.
UUP peer Lord Laird is to name the men he believes killed Mr Quinn.
He will use parliamentary privilege to name the men in the House of Lords.
However, IMC commissioner Lord Alderdice has said naming the alleged killers in the House of Lords would be an abuse of parliamentary privilege.
"This is a relatively recent event, investigations are still proceeding and I can see no case for using parliamentary privilege for this," he said.
