“This has been a long and emotional journey for the family of Colum Marks, who was unarmed when shot dead by the RUC, in their campaign for truth and justice.

“They have campaigned with strength, dignity and determination.

“The family remains committed to finding out the full facts of what happened to Colum Marks and following today’s decision, will now consider all options available to them.

“Sinn Féin will continue to support the Marks family in their pursuit of truth.

“They are entitled to justice and a proper investigation and they may now pursue a review of the PPS’ decision.”
