Robert McCartney' s sisters are on Marian Finucane's radio programme on RTE. Anyone who has any doubts about the guilt and activities of IRA activists should listen to these women.

They outline the intimidation, the fact that the IRA are now called the 'RAFIA' in their area. They relay details of an IRA man raping a local woman being shot in the foot by his fellow paramilitaries only to return to the area shortly afterwards to the area and strut around the street in the knowledge that he could not be touched. They also outline how a local IRA man used a hot iron on a woman's breast and walked away without any consequences. Those involved in the murder of Robert McCartney stop witnesses in the street in full view of local people to send a message to all those who could give evidence. In comparison to the murder of Robert McCartney and the attempt to suppress reaction from the local community, the Northern Bank robbery or moneylaundering pale into insignificance.
