Not only did former DUP MP Willie McCrea say the people of Mid Ulster would “reap a bitter harvest” in the days before the murder of GAA chairman Sean Brown, he was also quoted as saying: “Two out of three of the nationalist community in this area voted for Sinn Féin and they will have a price to pay for doing so''.

@trishdevlin Yep. Sean Brown wasn't the only GAA target. My dad luckily escaped a nail bomb that exploded inwards instead of outwards when opening up the club rooms one Saturday morning. Many other attacks around that time too.
@trishdevlin Sadly it was part of the times. So much trauma for everyone.
