Empey calls for public release of FAIR report

[between the bridges]

A FORMER leader of the UUP has said it is unfair of Stormont to have publicly accused victims group FAIR of financial irregularities – and then “bottle up” the outcome of an investigation.

Lord Empey told the News Letter that after the “gossip” surrounding the south Armagh organisation, “it is only natural justice that the results of this investigation are published”.

SEUPB passed a file to the PSNI Serious Organised Crime Branch, resulting in a probe lasting some 12 months. Afterwards, a PSNI spokesman confirmed the investigation had been wound up, adding that the prosecution service “directed that there was insufficient evidence to show a criminal offence, therefore there will be no prosecution”.

Mr Frazer said his legal team is now taking legal action in order to publish the report’s findings.

The News Letter invited the OFMDFM to comment a number of times in December, January and February. However, it had yet to do so at the time of going to press.

As someone who has been heavily critical of Willie Frazer due to his support of loyalist paramilitary killers etc. I also think its only proper to publish these findings. If he's been dodgy with the money lets hear it. And if he's not let's get back to just laughing at him for all the other cr@p he does or says and not add financial impropriety to the list.

Absolutely. Am I the only one who thinks this may backfire on him if it is released?

I dunno Ned. I know he's a bit mental but he is adamant that the report and results of the investigation are published. Maybe he's smarter than we think - cos he has me a bit confused...

I believe the PSNI refused Frazer a gun licence a year or two ago, as they must have judged he was so bitter they couldn't trust him not to go on a killing spree at any moment.

It seems only right that this should be published.
A man should be able to answer criticism and clear his name if he has been wronged.
