Trade Union calls for investigation into death of Irish journalist
THE National Union of Journalists (NUJ) has renewed its call for an investigation into the loyalist murder of one of its members on the anniversary of his death.
Martin O’Hagan, who worked for the Dublin-based Sunday World, was shot on September 28 2001 in Lurgan, Co Armagh.
NUJ leaders Michelle Stanistreet and Seamus Dooley have written to Northern Ireland Secretary Hilary Benn, Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Taoiseach Simon Harris, Northern Ireland First Minister Michelle O’Neill and her deputy Emma Little-Pengelly demanding an inquiry into the killing and subsequent police investigation.
