The Irish government expressed concern about the killing of an Irish priest in Uganda on March 21and the subsequent execution of two soldiers summarily convicted of killing him but said its aid programme will continue to help the poor of Uganda.
The two soldiers were found guilty by a field court martial of shooting dead Fr [Michael] O'Toole, his driver and a passenger and executed on March 25.
Liz O'Donnell, minister of state for overseas development assistance and human rights at the Department of Foreign Affairs, protested the absence of the right to appeal against the sentence, which, she said, gave rise to the suspicion that all the facts had not been revealed.
"Neither did Ireland support the use of death penalty", she added.
Ireland's concerns had been conveyed to the Ugandan authorities.
