Punishment Shootings in Derry

In a recent troubling development in Northern Ireland’s history, a minority of young men are being ‘shot by appointment’ in Derry. This ‘least worst option’ – where their life is spared if they agree to be shot non-fatally – has evolved so that some parents are now accompanying their sons to the ‘appointments’. A group of mothers have set up a group ‘Move On’ to counter the violence. Jane Garvey hears from parents of victims and talks to the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ’s Ireland correspondent Mark Simpson.
