"The Irish Congress of Trade Unions have asked Derry Trades Council and all affiliated unions to condemn this killing in the strongest possible terms. The murder of Kieran Doherty represents a barbaric return to summary execution in which there was no compassion whatsoever shown.

"It appears increasingly, that there is a growing trend that these people have appointed themselves as judge, jury and executioners and it is incumbent upon everyone in this community, from all traditions, to let these people know they will not accept this kind of action."
