The Celtic League, 28 July 2002:
CELTIC LEAGUE PRESS
INFORMATION
LOUTH MURDER - ENQUIRY CALL SUPPORT
Developments in the campaign of a Co. Louth family to uncover the truth
surrounding the murder of one of their relatives were reported to the AGM of the
Celtic League held on the Isle of Man this weekend.
The League have been supporting calls by the family of Co. Louth forestry
worker, Seamus Ludlow, to establish a full independent public enquiry into his
murder in 1976.
The League Secretary General, Bernard Moffatt, said there were substantial
allegations that the murder was committed by a loyalist murder gang which may
have had links to British Security Services in the North of Ireland.
He outlined recent developments which included the recent decision by the Irish
Attorney General to instruct the Co. Louth Coroner to hold an inquest.
It was agreed that the League would continue its support for the Ludlow family
and correspondence already sent to Irish government Ministers would be followed
up.
The following resolution was adopted:
"This AGM: Whilst welcoming the decision of Attorney General, Rory Brady,
to instruct the Coroner for County Louth, Mr. Ronan Maguire BL, to hold an
inquest into the death of Seamus Ludlow, the Celtic League reiterates its
support for the Ludlow families request for a full and independent public
enquiry."
