About this listen
Everyone knows where they were when Ray Houghton outfoxed the Italian goalkeeper in the 1994 World Cup finals. Every television in the country was tuned in to the match, and The Heights Bar in Loughinisland, Co. Down was no exception. But two miles down the road, three men with no interest in Ireland's footballing progress were planning a deadly massacre. Shortly after half-time they burst through the door of the bar and opened fire, spraying bullets indiscriminately. As they fled the scene, six innocent men lay dead or dying.
In 2017 journalists Trevor Birney and Barry McCaffrey produced a groundbreaking documentary, No Stone Unturned, about Loughinisland and allegations of collusion between the RUC and the loyalist terrorists behind the attack. However, it was Birney and McCaffrey, not the perpetrators of violence who then found themselves the target of PSNI anger.
Shooting Crows tells a shocking story of collusion and betrayal, and of a State still willing to corrupt justice and persecute the innocent to hide the sins of its past.

shines a light on policing in N. Ireland
this book made me laugh at times but mostly made me cry in dispair. The author has brought to the forefront the despicable twisted actions of many, but also the incredible bravery of victims of a massacre and those who fought tirelessly for truth. For this, I thank you.

Immense!
A compelling and fascinating story of what investigative journalists, Trevor Birney and Barry McCaffrey went through in their pursuit of truth for the Loughinisland families.
Who knew that holding the RUC, PSNI and the British Government to account for their collusion in that 1994 atrocity would continue to affect the lives of those searching for the truth so profoundly nearly 30 years later.
A must read.
