Sinn Fein Cllr Pádraig Mac Lochlainn has pledged continued party support for the Campaign, which was re-launched in Muff this morning.

Cllr Pádraig Mac Lochlainn said:


"I would like to pledge my continued support and that of my party to the Eddie Fullerton Justice Campaign.

"Eddie Fullerton was a dear friend and respected colleague. I will continue my support and use whatever avenues open to Sinn Féin to assist Amanda in her efforts to reach the full truth behind the murder of her father.

"Her brother Albert who was tragically killed in a road traffic accident in March was a tireless and determined campaigner in his efforts to uncover the events leading up to and following Eddie's murder. I have no doubt that Amanda will be no less indomitable in her role as spokesperson for the Fullerton family and the Justice Campaign.

"I offer her every support in taking up the campaign so tenaciously pursued by her late brother Albert and I call on all who believe in justice, particularly elected representatives to publicly support the Campaign for Justice for the Fullerton family.

"Yesterday the Sinn Féin leader in the Dáil, Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin TD called on the Taoiseach to organise a Summit with the British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, with the sole purpose of getting to the truth about British collusion with loyalist paramilitaries."


"Donegal County Councillor Eddie Fullerton, a member of Sinn Féin, was shot dead in his home in Buncrana, 15 years ago. It is now widely accepted that the perpetrators were acting as agents of the British armed forces in the North of Ireland.

"Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin TD also called on the Taoiseach to demand a special summit meeting with the British Prime Minister solely focused on the issue of collusion. Furthermore, Deputy Ó Caoláin called on the Taoiseach to establish full public inquiries into the murder of Eddie Fullerton and the Dublin and Monaghan bombings, which claimed 33 lives."
