The Northern Ireland Assembly will debate claims of Provisional IRA involvement in the murder of Paul Quinn in a motion brought by SDLP MLA Dominic Bradley next week.

Mr Quinn (21) from Cullyhanna, Co Armagh, was beaten to death by a gang last October in Co Monaghan.

The motion invites Assembly members to condemn the murder, to reject any criminal involvement by Mr Quinn, and to note the alleged involvement of the IRA and call on people to assist police investigations on both sides of the Border.

Tomorrow Mr Bradley will accompany the Quinn family to the Dáil where a debate on the murder has been arranged by Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny.
