Unionist Columnist Pens New Republican Ideology

TPQ features a Press Release from Carlin Solicitors, the legal team representing former republican political prisoner Gerry McGeough.




Aiden Carlin Solicitor has confirmed that his client Gerry McGeough is to make representations to the judge-led inquiry in relation to On The Runs.

On Thursday, Prime Minister David Cameron announced a senior judicial figure will head the inquiry into the operation and extent of the administrative scheme for OTRs. The person conducting the review will have full access to all government papers about the operation of the scheme. They will be free to interview key individuals in the civil service and the police, and any others where those individuals are willing.

Commenting on the announcement, Aiden Carlin said:

Despite the fact half a dozen High Court Judges have already heard evidence on this subject via my client’s case, the significant disclosures made in John Downey's case were never previously made at Gerry McGeough’s trial, Appeal or in other related proceedings. Instead the NIO would appear to have sat quietly on this material while my client spent 2 years in prison. My client will want to know what letters were sent to Sinn Fein regarding him and whether those letters contained errors. My client has always maintained his innocence and also intends to make a complaint to the Police Ombudsman in light of the revelations in John Downey’s case.

Solicitor Aiden Carlin concluded:

We have already written to the Secretary of State and the Police Ombudsman and shall be factoring recent developments into our client's pending Supreme Court application.

Yours faithfully
