McCord, a Protestant loyalist, has conducted a 12-year-campaign to get justice for his son, Raymond Jr. who was murdered by a
loyalist gang in 1997.
“The man who ordered the brutal murder was a government agent and police informer, so the British government and Northern Ireland police have protected the killer and covered up the crime,” said INC president Fr. Sean McManus.
“Since Raymond Jr. was murdered, I have encountered stonewalling and obstruction from the British government and Northern Ireland police. I can only turn for justice to Fr. Mc Manus and his many friends in Congress. He has assured me that the U.S. Congress will fight for my rights as hard as they have fought for the rights of Catholics in Northern Ireland,” said McCord.
McCord addressed the monthly meeting of the John Barry Division of the AOH in Washington on Tuesday.
More information on the McCord visit is available from the INC at (202)544-0568.
