Belturbet bombing: Man issues appeal over 1972 car bomb which killed his teenage sister

A grieving brother has urged anyone with information about the Belturbet bombing, which claimed the life of his teenage sister 50 years ago, to "do the right thing" and come forward.

Geraldine O'Reilly, 15, and Patrick Stanley, 16, were killed on December 28, 1972, when a car bomb exploded outside Farrelly's Bar and McGowan's Drapery on the main street of Belturbet in Co Cavan.

Loyalist paramilitaries have been blamed for the attack in which eight people were also injured.
