Alliance Leader David Ford MLA

Alliance Leader David Ford and Justice Spokesperson Stephen Farry are today meeting the family of Paul Quinn and will be hammering home the need for justice in the floor of the Assembly today as it debates his murder.

David Ford said: "This was a heinous murder. The family of Paul Quinn have suffered unmeasurable pain over the last four months.

"Today we will be bringing the concerns of the family to the floor of the Assembly.

"Many massive questions on this horrific murder remain unanswered. Sinn Fein and the DUP, in their cosy partnership, have sought to deflect the spotlight from questions over IRA involvement. This is sickening and the truth must out.

"Justice must be done. That at least would be some little comfort to Paul's family."

ENDS
