Private Sean Rooney Second Anniversary

Statement by our Mr Darragh Mackin on behalf of the family of Private Sean Rooney on his second anniversary.

On the second anniversary of Sean’s murder, our client’s grief is as immeasurable today as it was this day in 2022.  This grief has in many ways been compounded by the disrespect and discourtesy demonstrated by those within the UN, who to date, have not provided our client with the necessary information to allow the Inquest to proceed, so the truth can be established. 

Our client’s grief is only outweighed by her pride in her late son who paid the ultimate price, to save others.  He will forever be remembered for his bravery and courage.  It appears that such bravery is hereditary, in that Sean’s mother has shown the ultimate courage in speaking truth to power, in holding those responsible to account.   Her unrelenting drive to seek truth and justice for Sean has this week has paid dividends in which the United Nations, for the first time, have publicly confirmed they will now provide the relevant information that the family have been seeking, for many months.   Whilst today marks Sean’s second anniversary, we hope that it also marks a turning point in the quest for truth and justice for Private Sean Rooney.
