Victims of the shootout refused trips to treat

The victim of a alleged Republican shootout was denied that the trips to Scotland was denied to Scotland for reasons of fighting terrorism, his lawyer said.

Sean O'Reilly, 49, was shot twice in an attack in the Bell Steel Manor area of ​​Dunmurry on Sunday.

A flight car was ready to bring him to Glasgow for the operation, but he was then informed that he was refused to travel.

A legal challenge is now likely.

His lawyer, Peter Corrigan from Phoenix, said the decision was “absolutely disgraceful”.

Mr. O'reilly was accepted into the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast on Sunday.

He underwent an operation to remove a ball from his collarbone.

A scan showed that he had also suffered a separated nerve in his left biceps, and the arrangements were hit in Glasgow for special surgery.

Mr. Corrigan said: “The surgeon said he had to be there before Saturday, otherwise the nerves will die.

“The flight ban was ready, but then he was informed that the authorities refused to take him into legislation against terrorism.”

He claimed that the decision was illegal and would be contested in court.

The Republican Network for Unity, a small political group with connections to the dissident organization óglaigh na Héireann, said Mr. O'reilly was one of her members.
