Sinn Fein, other public representatives, must act now
Garret O'Connor, from South Armagh, disappeared on Sunday last while on the way to sign for bail at Dundalk Garda Station. He is charged with RIRA membership. His father Mark says the Provisional IRA kidnapped him, and his life is in danger.

A particular responsibility falls on members and representatives of the Sinn Fein party, which has a large following in the area where Garret O'Connor disappeared.
