SF denies link to intimidation of Gemma McCartney

Tuesday November 20 2007

Sinn Fein has denied media reports that one of its members was involved in the alleged intimidation of Robert McCartney in Belfast.

The report claimed a man with links to Sinn Fein told Gemma McCarthy to leave a nationalist area close to where her brother was killed.

She was in the area at the time while working with a mobile cancer screening unit, which left the area after the incident.

Sinn Fein MLA Alec Maskey has denied that any Sinn Fein members was involved and has condemned people he claimed were trying to score cheap political points from the situation.
