Claudy 💀 scary.co

ClaudyClaudy is the dramatic retelling of one of the most callous bombing operations of the Provisional IRA in the early days of The Troubles, in a small, country village fifty years ago in Northern Ireland, executed as a distraction from a major Army exercise in Derry.The operation was poorly planned and went badly wrong, masterminded by a local IRA leader who was also a Catholic priest, later secretly disappeared to Southern Ireland, in a gross act of collusion between Government, Police and the Roman Catholic Church, to avoid his arrest and the scandal.He died not long afterwards at a comparatively young age. No-one was ever charged, and the IRA never officially claimed responsibility, despite unequivocal evidence pointing to them.The authorities and the Church did little initially, until eventually the deviousness in the handling of the whole affair was uncovered nearly forty years later, and there have been acknowledgements by the Government and legal settlements by the Police.Nothing is as yet forthcoming from the Roman Catholic Church, which is the subject of an ongoing legal suit at the time of writing.Claudy is a fictitious account, based on the true story of the chain of events leading up to the bombing, the ensuing investigation and the decay of a guilt-ridden soul that followed.The concept arose after a visit to the memorial statue to the victims several years ago. The novel seeks to make sense of out of the many, unanswered questions about the event and critical issues that remain unresolved to this day. It strives to uncover more truths behind the tragedy, and to make known the wounds that still fester among the families involved and to acknowledge their ongoing suffering. It also explores the major division that still exists in Northern Ireland, and the fundamental, ongoing problem, despite having had a peace for nearly twenty five years, of the failure of a society to effectively confront and deal with its past. Many involved are now dead; some of the perpetrators are still alive but remain silent; there are many seeking answers, when only part of the story has been revealed.J.S.Hunter lived in Belfast in his teenage years at the start of The Troubles. His father was born in Claudy and his home was also the village Post Office, the location of the third bomb.Claudy tries to answer the questions: What motivates a man of God to become a ruthless killer and do such a thing? How did he live with himself? For someone who was a fervent believer in the world of spirit, whose soul was very troubled, what became of his afterwards?
