Ba ionsaí, dúnmharú Rosemary Nelson, ionsaí ar bhuncearta daonna, comhionannas agus coir. Chuir sé isteach go tromchúiseach ar a gclann gan dabht ar bith. Ina theannta sin áfach chuir sé isteach ar an bpobal áitiúl, ar an gcomhphobal Poblachtánach / Náisiúnach / Caitliceach sna Sé contae, agus lucht na cearta daonna mórthimpeall na cruinne araon. Lena chois sin áfach chuir an tragóid uafásach seo isteach go mór ar muintir Bóthar Garvaghy. Thaispeáin sé don bpobal sin cé chomh oscailte is a bhí said ó ionsaithe cosúil le seo, agus ar barr an méid seo ar fad bhain sé uatha ceann dá cosainteoirí ba láidre is ba dhíongbháite. Inniu níos mó ná ocht mbliain níos déanaí tá ceisteanna thar a bheith tábhachtach fós gan freagra i dtaobh dunmharú an bean seo. Photo: Rosemary Nelson
