Taoiseach Micheál Martin is due to apologise in the Dáil to the family of Brian Stack, a prison officer shot by the IRA in Dublin in 1983. The Portlaoise Prison chief officer was paralysed and died 18 months later, aged 49. Three garda investigations, later found to contain 194 errors, brought no one to justice. His son Austin said the apology means an awful lot.
