UN to Provide More Information to Family of Private Seán Rooney Following Investigations into His Death
The United Nations announced that additional documents related to Private Seán Rooney’s death while serving with UNIFIL in Lebanon will soon be available to his family. Rooney was killed during an attack on December 14, 2022, and while a redacted report has been shared, a second ‘Board of Inquiry’ report remains undisclosed. Ongoing investigations in both Lebanon and Ireland aim to provide more clarity on the incident as concerns grow over the slow progress of justice. UN officials maintain that they are committed to sharing relevant information with the Irish authorities.
