- Murder_of_Joseph_Rafferty abstract "Joseph Rafferty, (c.1974-12 April 2005) was an Irish murder victim. After Rafferty's sister was assaulted at a party, Rafferty confronted the alleged attacker. The man told Rafferty that his family had connections to the IRA and could get him killed. Rafferty continued to receive threats that the "IRA" would get him for several months before he was murdered.The Rafferty family met Daithí Doolan, the local Sinn Fein representative, asking him to have the threat stopped.On 12 April 2005, Rafferty was murdered. He was shot twice with a sawn-off shotgun, once in the leg and once in the chest, as he left his flat in Ongar, Dublin to go to work.The Irish Independent reported that an upcoming Independent Monitoring Commission (IMC) report on the murder was expected to link Rafferty's murder to the IRA. In a statement, Rafferty's sister, Ester Uzell said of the upcoming IMC report: "It's what we have been saying all along. We've never said it [Joseph's murder] was sanctioned by the IRA's top man, but other Sinn Féin members knew it was going to happen and did nothing about it," said Ms Uzell. "[The murderer] is definitely an IRA member and we know this because of the information we have received." However Taoiseach Bertie Ahern stated he is satisfied that there was no official involvement from the IRA. Ahern stated the murder was committed by "Elements, probably of criminality, claim[ing] they had links with republicans." Both Daithí Doolan and Gerry Adams have called for co-operation with the Garda in the investigation of Rafferty's murder. Gerry Adams has also stated he would be willing to meet with members of Joseph Rafferty's family.Rafferty's family have stated there are similarities between the murder of Rafferty and that of Robert McCartney.Ester Uzell ran as an independent candidate in the 2007 Irish general election for Dublin South East to call on Daithí Doolan to fully co-operate with the Garda investigation into Rafferty's death, stating "The murderer is still walking the street. Sinn Fein have done absolutely nothing at all."".
