I have just watched an interview with Alison Millar, director of the film 'Lyra', a feature-length portrait of the acclaimed young Irish journalist Lyra McKee who was murdered in 2019 by dissident republicans in Derry, from where she was reporting on a riot.
Alison's film can be viewed here...
Today marks the 4th anniversary of the killing of journalist #LyraMckee My thoughts are with her family during this difficult time. Ongoing investigations should be completed effectively and rapidly to bring those responsible to justice.
Emotionally difficult evening watching the #LyraMcKee film in #CoventryCathedral tonight, followed by a Q&A with members of her family and others.
I had a very small walk-on role in her life, as Head of Editorial at #Headliners, the youth #journalism charity she was a member of as a teenager.
It's on #Channel4 next month and I'd urge you to watch it.
The '#NewIRA', said to be behind the shooting of police officer #JohnCaldwell, was responsible for the murder of journalist #LyraMckee in 2019.
May DCI Caldwell make a full and speedy recovery.
