WATCH: GAA President, Jarlath Burns 'inspired' by Walk For Truth turnout
'All we want is justice and truth' - Jarlath Burns
GAA President, Jarlath Burns was one of the thousands who took part in The Walk For Truth For Sean Brown in Bellaghy.
Speaking to The County Derry Post in Páirc Seán de Brúin, Mr Burns said he was “inspired” by the number of people who took part in The Walk For Truth “to support the Brown Family.”
He added: “In 1997, we made the opposite journey on the very sad day of the funeral. There was terrible anxiety at that time. There was sadness in the air.
“Tonight I feel a different mood, a mood of resilience, determination, solidarity, defiance.
“This is the GAA community. We go out in these jerseys that people are wearing here, we go out and we fight for our parish every week and for our club and we play for our club against each other but when something happens to one of us, we are all part of this wonderful community and we take our values with us tonight.
“We are decent people and all we want is justice and truth," said Mr Burns.
