Bush meets McCartney sisters on St. Paddy’s

Bush meets McCartney sisters on St. Paddy’s

Paula, Catherine, Gemma, Donna and Claire McCartney will meet with the US President George W. Bush on St. Patrick’s Day demanding a fair end to McCartney’s case.

Robert McCartney was killed in Belfast by a gang that included two IRA activists. His sisters blamed IRA for being irresponsible over its membership and asked the US to help in investigating the case. Mr. McCartney had a fiancee and two children.

The Belfast killing shows the crisis in the Irish Republican Army that offered to kill its members involved in the case.

Yesterday, the sisters met with US Rep. Richard E. Neal, D-Springfield, and US Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass. "They need to be encouraged to come forward. They want justice, not revenge," said Neal, who supports Sinn Fein.

"They’ve created their own Bloody Sunday. Conspiracy is silence because there was obviously a big percentage of Sinn Fein members in that bar that night," said Claire McCartney about Sinn Fein. The party’s president Gerry Adams is not welcomed at the White House as it was traditionally established on St. Patrick’s Day.
