The sisters and the fiancee of a Catholic man said to have been murdered by the IRA will be feted by George W.Bush in the White House on St Patrick’s Day as part of a US strategy to isolate Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams. Paula McCartney and her four sisters, as well as Bridgeen Hagans, who was to have married Robert McCartney in a few months, will fly from Belfast to Washington on March 15 to highlight their campaign to bring his killers to justice.
