The Good Life & Unresolved Murder of a Derry GAA Man

On May 12, 1997, Seán Brown, a devoted father, tireless chairman of Bellaghy GAC and friend of Seamus Heaney was abducted from the club grounds and murdered in a killing his family has always described as state-sponsored. For almost thirty years, his widow Bridie and their six children have waged a dignified campaign against official obstruction for truth and a public inquiry. This is the story of one man’s good life, a community’s loss and a family’s unyielding fight for justice in the long shadow of collusion.

SAOL MAITH AGUS DÚNMHARÚ FHEAR CLG DHOIRE GAN RÉITEACH COLÁISTE OLLSCOILE NAOMH MUIRE, BÓTHAR NA BHFÁL

Ar 12 Bealtaine 1997, fuadaíodh an t-athair dil, iarchathaoirleach CLG dochloíte, agus cara de chuid Seamus Heaney, Seán Brown, ó thailte an chumainn agus maraíodh é. Rinne a theaghlach cur síos ar an dúnmharú seo i cónaí mar dhúnmharú státurraithe. Le beagnach tríocha bliain anuas, bhí feachtas díniteach ag a bhaintreach, Bridie, agus a seisear páistí in aghaidh bac oifigiúil na fírinne agus ar son fiosrúcháin phoiblí. Is scéal é seo faoi shaol maith fir, cailliúint don phobal, agus troid dhiongbháilte teaghlaigh le ceart a bhaint amach in aghaidh scamall an chlaonpháirteachais.

Imeacht saor in aisce. Ní bheidh áirithint ar bith de dhíth.
