THE FAMILY of a murdered Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) official has criticised the British government’s response to a court ruling that found it was acting unlawfully in failing to order a public inquiry into the killing.
On Wednesday, Britain’s Northern Ireland Secretary Hilary Benn sought leave for a Supreme Court appeal in the Sean Brown case.
Mr Benn has not confirmed that he ultimately intends to take the case to the Supreme Court, but applied for “protective leave” to appeal to Britain’s highest court if he believes that course of action to be “necessary.”
