McDonald ‘would still go’ to Storey funeral if serving as taoiseach

Mr Storey was arrested in London in 1979 following an attempt using a helicopter to free the late IRA leader Brian Keenan from Brixton prison. He was acquitted but in 1981 he was sentenced to 18 years following a gun attack on two British soldiers. He was one of the leaders of the IRA breakout from the Maze in 1983, in which 38 prisoners escaped.

“The organisation in which he was involved murdered many people. She was asked if she would attend the funeral as taoiseach and it is just incredible that she would give that answer.”
