A statement from the Newcastle Green Group on the Blakelaw & Cowgate Candidate Tina Ion


Time to call on my FANTASTIC followers to add @TheIrishIsraeli to their Irish/Israel accounts to follow.

The brutal, senseless murders of Bebe, Elsie and Alice marked one of the darkest moments in our country’s history. The report today is truly harrowing and profoundly disturbing. It sets out systematic failures that led to this terrible event. I’ve been overwhelmed by the bravery and determination of their families and while nothing will ever bring these three little girls back, I’m determined to make the fundamental changes needed to keep the public safe. I will do everything I can to honour the memory of Bebe, Elsie, and Alice.
