The Plot Thickens
So a second Sinn Fein election candidate was in the Belfast pub where IRA murder victim Robert McCartney was attacked, it has emerged.
After it was revealed recently that Sinn Fein candidate Cara Grogan was in the bar on the night Mr McCartney was murdered, Sinn Fein has disclosed that another Sinn Fein candidate, Deirdre Hargey, was still inside Magennis's Bar when police first arrived.
Ms Hargey, who has given a statement to her lawyer, insisted: "I did not witness the fracas in the bar, or the incident outside the bar."
Why has it taken so long for this to come out?Are we supposed to believe that Gerry Adams did not know that Ms Grogan and Ms Hargey were in the bar on the night of the murder?
One thing is certain - Sinn Fein are not doing all they can to bring the killers of Robert McCartney to justice.And for that, they deserve condemnation.
