Daughter of IRA victim confronts IRA man at tribunal

Smithwick tribunal: 29 November 2011

The daughter of a man killed by a bomb under his car in 1990 confronted an IRA member outside the Smithwick tribunal.

Manya Dickinson was 13 years old when her father, Kenny Graham, a building contractor who supplied the security forces, died on 27 April 1990.

Ms Dickinson said she believes the bomb that killed her father was built by Patrick Joseph "Mooch" Blair, a convicted IRA member who gave evidence at the Smithwick tribunal in Dublin today.

"Something should be done for victims of IRA violence," Ms Dickinson said afterwards. The government has got to do something."

"He just laughed in my face, he didn't deny it or anything. He just laughed in my face."

"And if this is what the British government expects us to put up with, then they can forget about it, because this is awful, that we have to put up with this."
