Pat Finucane – Lest We forget

The 21st anniversary of the UDA murder of Belfast solicitor Pat Finucane will soon be upon us.



The assassination of Pat Finucane took place on the 12th of February 1989. The Belfast solicitor received multiple gunshot wounds whilst being attacked in front of his wife and children as they sat down to enjoy dinner. Official history tells us that this gruesome murder was the act of the UDA but it was in fact carried out by a number of UDA members who were also British security force agents, including RUC Special Branch agent Ken Barrett who was the trigger puller.

In a week where we have been told that the UDA has decommissioned its weapons, it is important to remember the central issue surrounding Pat Finucane's death. That central issue is organised state murder, an issue which many commentators would like to ignore, or even deny took place.

Irish journalist Henry McDonald (a seeker of “clarity and truth”) tells us in the Guardian this week that the UDA, the biggest loyalist paramilitary group in Ireland, has decommissioned all its weapons.
