Loughinisland families to meet Police Ombudsman

Families of the victims of the Loughinisland massacre are to meet the Police Ombudsman on Friday.

The Heights Bar - LoughinislandThey are expected to express concern over the delay in the publication of a report into the killings.

Six men were killed when two UVF gunmen opened fire in The Heights Bar in the village in the summer of 1994.

MLA for South Down Caitriona Ruane, who said the delays have been “long and difficult” for the families, will acccompany them to the meeting.

In November, the Police Ombudsman‘s office said its report into the investigation would be published early in the new year.

Speaking in advance of the meeting Ms Ruane said she would be supporting the families in expressing their “deep concern about the long delay” in the publication of the report.

“It has been a very long and difficult time for the families who are frustrated and angry at the delays,” she said.

“The Loughinisland families have conducted themselves with dignified patience throughout the years since their loved ones were so brutally murdered.

“They deserve to be treated with the utmost respect and I believe that they are entitled to know the findings of this report without any further delay.”
