Photograph: Journalist Ed Moloney, who spoke at the Seamus Ludlow Commemoration.

Left: This is the noted Belfast journalist Ed Moloney, who was formerly the Northern Editor of The Sunday Tribune newspaper. Ed was the first journalist to interview the alleged suspect Paul Hosking after his release from RUC custody and interrogation in February 1998. It was Ed's articles in the Sunday Tribune that helped bring the Seamus Ludlow case to national prominence for the first time in more than twenty years.

Ed is pictured here in the lane off the Bog Road on 29 April 2001, at the 25th anniversary commemoration of Seamus Ludlow's murder at this spot, where he was the main speaker for the occasion.

Ed Moloney's oration can be accessed here.>>>

Right: This is Monsignor Raymond Murray, Cookstown, another valuable supporter of the Ludlow family in recent years. Monsignor Murray attended the ceremony on the 25th anniversary at the special invitation of the Ludlow family. His presence was deeply appreciated and his words of great comfort to all the relatives present.

Monsignor Raymond Murray said: "To think of Seamus is to think of his human dignity and the eternal dimensions of his life. All the places he was and the people he knew - in short, his life

"Seamus' family have suffered over the years. And then there was what I all the Big Lie - his character assassination.

He went on:  "Put it another way. If it was us in charge, what would we not have done? How would we have treated the family?

Left: Also present at the 25th anniversary commemoration ceremony was the Rev. Father Brian McCreesh, a young  curate in the local parish of Lordship at the time of Seamus Ludlow's murder. 

Father McCreesh, now serving in Kilkerley, County Louth, was very kind to the grieving members of the Ludlow family at that terrible time in May 1976. He helped officiate at the funeral of Seamus Ludlow. 

Father McCreesh, a native of Camlough, South Armagh, and a brother of the late Raymond McCreesh who died on hunger-strike in the Long Kesh H-Blocks in 1981, kindly led the gathering in prayers for the repose of the soul of the deceased Seamus Ludlow.

The late Miceal O'Donnell, former Chairman of Louth County Council, who was a valued supporter of the Ludlow family and a personal friend to Seamus Ludlow.

Left: 11 August 2000 - The Ludlow family circle was devastated on hearing of the death, after a long illness, in Daisyhill Hospital, Newry, of Louth County Councillor Miceal O'Donnell (aged 67 years), a dear friend, good neighbour and a staunch supporter of their fight for justice. The Ludlow family had lost a valuable friend and supporter who will be dearly missed. 

In his capacity as  Louth County Council Chairman, Miceal attended a special Press Conference organised by the Ludlow family in Dublin on 18 February 1999. On that occasion, Miceal drove three nephews of the late Seamus Ludlow to the venue for the press conference.

Proudly wearing his chain of office as Chairman of Louth County Council, Miceal accompanied members of the Ludlow family throughout a gruelling day of engagements, culminating in a public meeting later that night at Dundalk Town Hall. More.>>>

Right:  Brendan Larkin (47), who resided at Muirhevna Mor, Dundalk, a son of the late Barney Larkin, a step brother of Seamus Ludlow, was a leading figure in the Ludlow family's campaign for truth and justice for Seamus Ludlow until his tragic and unexpected death on 4th September 2003. 

His sudden passing has saddened all in the Ludlow family who shared his yearning for justice for Seamus Ludlow.
