David Stokes reports on the deaths of a retired lollipop man, Barney Lavery, and his granddaughter, Emma Donnelly, who were both killed by a terrorist bomb attack on a Northern Ireland police station in Benburb, County Tyrone. The security forces were unable to clear the area in time because telephone warnings from the terrorists came too late. Includes interview with female eyewitness.
