AN offer has been made by the Limerick branch of the Republican Sinn Fein organisation to act as a peace broker between feuding families in the city before someone is shot dead.Republican Sinn Féin spokesman Seán O'Neill said on October 20 that the inter-family feuding has now reached alarming proportions and the latest incident where shots were fired adjacent to a school in St Mary's Parish is an indication of how the situation may spiral out of control.
“We are concerned that innocent people may be killed if this type of indiscriminate activity continues,” said Seán O'Neill. “There is too much fear in the community and it is time that some real effort was made to ensure that the feuding is brought to a halt for the safety of all those said to be involved in the ongoing rows
“We in Republican Sinn Féin are concerned about the threat to innocent people and say that no one should live under the fear of being attacked or shot down. Therefore we are now making a move to offer one of our members as a peace broker between those who are said to be involved in the current feuding as it is causing serious concern in the communities affected by such actions.
“The ongoing feuding is also giving an adverse national impression of Limerick and the image of the city is also suffering in the media -therefore we now appeal for an end to the disputes and ask that they be settled around a table with a genuine peace broker acting as an independent observer whose recommendations will be accepted by all sides said to be involved in these feuds.”
