Ulster Unionist Party Leader, Mike Nesbitt MLA has expressed his sadness at the passing of Pamela Brankin, the mother of Sapper Mark Quinsey who was one of two soldiers murdered by terrorists outside Massereene Barracks in Antrim four years ago.
Mr Nesbitt said:
“The Ulster Unionist Party is very saddened to hear of the death of Pamela Brankin, the mother of Sapper Mark Quinsey and we send our sympathies to her family and friends.
“She is one of the thousands of untold and unrecognised victims of the violence in Northern Ireland.
“The legacy of the grubby terrorist campaign is endless human suffering. As a Victims Commissioner, I learnt to be mindful that beyond those who lost their lives as a direct result of terrorist attacks, many others died of broken hearts, heart attacks and many many more suffer mental health issues that will be with them to the grave.”
