You have every right to ask that question. Someone will face trial for the murder. As to the Privisional IRA making an offer to deal with those involved, this was offered to the families. The offer was to ask those involved to leave Ireland or be shot for anti social activity, the family declined the offer.This has been the rule within most catholic areas for the past 35 years, so they made the offer due to the fact members were involved in the bar fight. This is looked upon with a very dim view.I have seen members put out of Ireland for a lot less. No one should be seen to use their position to advance their own postion or intimate. Hope this is of help GUEST.
