No justice over murder of my son, says mother of Private Seán Rooney
A military tribunal into the killing of Irish peacekeeper Private Seán Rooney was 'not justice', the soldier's mother has said. Natasha Rooney said she wanted to express her family's 'extreme disappointment and heartbreak' at recent court proceedings in Lebanon. Advertisement Pte Rooney (24), from Newtowncunningham in Co Donegal, was killed when a convoy of Irish troops serving with a UN peacekeeping force was ambushed and fired upon on December 14th, 2022. The shooting happened near the town of Al-Aqbiya in the south of Lebanon, a stronghold of Hezbollah. Pte Rooney, from the 121 Infantry Battalion of the Defence Forces, was killed.

Advertisement One man was sentenced to death, but he remains at large. A number of other men were also convicted in relation to other offences over the shooting. In a statement released through Phoenix Law, Ms Rooney said her son was a 'brave and courageous soldier' and a 'much-loved son, brother, fiancee and friend'. She said: 'Whilst no court case or litigation can bring Sean back, the truth and justice for his murder is the very least he deserves. 'Whilst I am restricted in what I can say due to the live proceedings, I cannot sit idly by and let the truth get lost in the hysteria. Advertisement 'What happened in Lebanon was not justice. What happened in Lebanon is unreflective of what we regard as a trial process. 'The trial into the murder of my son was heard and determined in less than half a day. 'Not only was justice not done, it was not seen to be done, with little to no information being disclosed or challenged in open court. 'Instead, we are forced to believe the answers provided by a Lebanese justice system which from the outset has failed to hold those responsible to account.' Advertisement Ms Rooney said the perpetrator of her son's murder 'has been untraceable and untraced for many years'. She said: 'Not only did he not appear for his trial, but it is clear that he might never appear. 'The verdict in reality is nothing more than a headline to the Lebanese authorities who masquerade this sham trial process as a semblance of justice for my son.' Ms Rooney also urged Mr Harris to speak to her 'before seeking to speak for me, in his public statements'. Advertisement She said: 'I am not angry. I am determined.

Number of drones seen around jails rises to record high, figures show
Drones spotted by prison staff around jails have risen to a record high of more than 1,700 in a year, data shows. Figures published for the first time reveal drone incidents in prisons rose to 1,712 in the year to March, up 43% from 1,196 the previous year and nearly five times the 357 in 2021/22. It is also more than 12 times the 138 incidents recorded in 2020/21. The data includes all drone sightings by prison staff such as recovery, crashes, bringing illicit items into restricted fly zones and drones suspected of photographing inmates, officers or buildings. The HM Prisons and Probation Service publication also notes the increase could also be made up of a rise in the reporting of drone incidents. Drones dropping drugs into prisons has previously been branded a threat to national security by the chief inspector of prisons Charlie Taylor, who also warned of weapons such as zombie knives suspected of being brought into prisons by air. On Thursday, the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) announced a new £900,000 cash boost to tackle drones bringing drugs and weapons into prisons, on top of £40 million already used to boost security such as by reinforcing windows and putting up netting. Nine people have also been arrested in operations to crack down on drones at HMP Manchester and Wandsworth. The MoJ said one of the drones caught in the HMP Wandsworth operation was worth £6,000, could fly for 40 minutes and hold four loads at a time. Prisons minister Lord James Timpson said: 'The ease with which drones were operating over prisons was yet another sign of the chaotic prison system we inherited last July. 'As part of the Plan for Change, we are tackling the organised crime gangs behind the drug supply routes so that our prisons can start cutting crime and stop creating better criminals.'

Ron Taylor obituary
My husband, Ron Taylor, who had died aged 75, was a social worker and teacher, and a lifelong socialist and anti-racist involved in many campaigns for justice. In the 70s he was a member of the Anti-Nazi League and a founder member of the Hebden Bridge Asbestos Action Group in West Yorkshire along with his first wife, Renata. In 1979 he helped set up the alternative newspaper the Calder Valley Press. During the miners' strike Ron formed a local support group and organised fundraising gigs including one featuring the folk musician and comic Mike Harding. Ron had moved to Hebden Bridge in 1971, having graduated in social policy from the University of Leeds. He then worked for Rochdale social services and in 1980 joined Calderdale College in Halifax, teaching social work and later becoming a popular counsellor in student services. Between 2000 and 2007 he was a project worker for the NCH (now Action for Children), during which time he walked the Great Wall of China to raise money for the charity. After Ron's retirement in 2007, he and I started visiting Palestine and quickly became involved with Taayush, a grassroots non-violent Jewish/Arab movement to promote peace and co-existence. We made regular visits to the West Bank, working with villagers and subsistence farmers in the south Hebron hills. Ron would send postcards back to Yorkshire that were featured in the local community website, Hebweb. He presented many talks and screenings about the plight of Palestinians and their daily struggles. Ron and I spent long days with the charity Care4Calais distributing essentials to refugees, and Ron also supported refugees locally. Born in Cheadle, Greater Manchester, he was the son of Margaret (nee Ellis) and Cyril Taylor. Cyril was a pharmaceutical rep who had once served Haile Selassie at Boots the chemist during the Ethiopian emperor's exile in Bath; Margaret was a homemaker. As a pupil at Queen Elizabeth grammar in Wakefield, Ron was able to play only rugby but, on leaving school, he was able to follow his passion for football. He was a lifelong supporter of Manchester City. In 1996, Ron and a group of friends formed a local five-a-side football club called the Old Gits, and he played his last game of seven-a-side at the age of 75. The team now call it the Ron Taylor FC in his honour. Ron's marriage to Renata (nee Dempsey) ended in divorce. He and I married in 2000. He is survived by me, his daughter Kerry from his first marriage, my children, Sandra, Jürgen and Zoë, and six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
