A woman whose father was valued at less than a dog after he was shot dead in Ballymurphy was today at the centre of a massive compensation payout.
Janet Donnelly, whose dad Joseph Murphy was one of ten people killed over two days by the British Army in 1971, was at the High Court in Belfast on Monday morning to hear a judge award “significant” compensation to the Ballymurphy massacre families.
One of the conditions of the settlement is that the amount paid must remain confidential, however it is understood that including legal costs the the MOD are facing a bill in the millions of pounds.
