“Everyone knows the story of Jean McConville; even Hillary Clinton, who I met a few years ago, knew my mother’s story. And yet here is another telling of it that I and my family have to endure,” he said.Radden Keefe told BBC News NI that he had met representatives from families whose stories were featured in the series to “make it clear that we were going to approach this story with a great deal of sensitivity”.
The IRA always denied it had anything to do with her disappearance but admitted its involvement after the Good Friday agreement and the establishment in 1999 of the Independent Commission for the Location of Victims’ Remains. Part of a secret unit of the IRA known as the “unknowns”, she detailed how she and two others had been ordered across the border to kill McConville but stopped short of revealing who had actually pulled the trigger.
