“William had his whole life ahead of him and his murder forever changed life for the Temple family, also causing the early death of William’s daddy.”
In addition, a service was held in Derrylin’s Church of Ireland to mark the 50th anniversary of the IRA double murder of married Protestant couple Tommy and Emily Bullock, aged 53 and 50 respectively, at their rural home nearby on September 21, 1972.
