“My mum came down and a policewoman came in and I was told. Life changed dramatically for the whole family after that. Daddy was the foundation of our lives.”

The son of a man shot dead by the IRA as he went to work in Co Tyrone in 1982 has appealed for anyone with information which could bring his father’s killers to justice to come forward.

“I do believe in the local community there are people who know what happened and they could help the police. There are people who remember that day and know what happened. He said: “We have always had some sort of hope for justice but if the Government passes this Bill it is a door slammed in our face.

Mr Eagleson said: “It was hard day for all of us, but we felt we had to do it and go down that road where my father spent his last moments alive, it was painful. The Eagleson family have received support from the South East Fermanagh Foundation victims’ organisation. “I believe the gunman made their escape in a yellow coloured Datsun 100A car, VRM BJI 6435 that had been hijacked in the Cookstown area the previous evening. The car was found a few hours later abandoned off the main Omagh to Cookstown Road approximately 4 miles from the murder scene.
