GAA official Sean Brown was shot in 1997, with documents revealing state agents were linked to his killing.
A coroner is to write to the Northern Ireland secretary requesting a public inquiry into the murder of GAA official Sean Brown by loyalists in 1997.He said Mr Brown's inquest cannot continue due to material being withheld on the grounds of national security.
He was locking the gates of GAA club Bellaghy Wolfe Tones when he was taken by the Loyalist Volunteer Force .Mr Justice Kinney's ruling on Monday comes after state agencies applied for multiple redactions on sensitive files related to the murder. Mr Justice Kinney said that he knew the decision "will cause further pain and anguish for the family of Mr Brown".
He said a public inquiry was "the appropriate way to consider the circumstances of Mr Brown's murder". On Monday, the public gallery was packed with members of the Brown family and supporters, including senior GAA officials, including association president Jarlath Burns.
