If the Government isn't going to label the Huntingdon train attack as 'terrorism', it should at least change the law so mass casualty attacks are designated as more serious crimes than murder, argues Anna Stanley.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
IRISH JUNIOR SHOOTING TEAM WINS GOLD, SILVER MEDALS IN GB JUNIOR INTERNATIONAL EVENT
Bisley Camp, Surrey, UK, August 11 -- The Irish Junior Shooting Team ended off a highly successful tour this week at the 15th Annual Great Britain Junior International Event, with Susan Cunningham (17, Kells, Co. Meath) winning the Gold Medal in the Junior Women's Air Rifle Grand Prix competition and Damien Fagan (20, Navan, Co. Meath) winning the Silver Medal in the Junior Women's Air Rifle Grand Prix competition.
This brings the total medal count for the Irish Junior Shooting Team to 6. Susan Cunningham has, along with her Gold medal, the Silver medal for the Individual Junior Women's Air Rifle match from Wednesday; the Junior Women's Team of Susan Cunningham, Paula Cunningham (16, Kells, Co.Meath) her younger sister and Elizabeth O'Hagan (20, Co.Meath) won the Silver medals in the Team Junior Women's Air Rifle match, also on wednesday; and Damien's Silver Grand Prix medal makes six. This equals the previous record medal count set five years ago by a team from Wilkinstown, Co.Meath.
There were tears of joy and emotional reactions amongst all of the shooters and support staff at the outcome. The icing on the cake was when Team Manager Mark Dennehy (31, Greystones, Co.Wicklow) was asked by the National Smallbore Rifle Association to officiate at the medal presentation ceremony, which meant that he had the honour of putting the Gold medal around Susan's neck.
This event also marked the first time an Irishman has adjudicated at an international event, with Team Manager Mark Dennehy finding himself seconded to the Judges pool in an unexpectedly early exercising of his recently-granted ISSF Class B Judges' Licence.
There were a total of 165 competitors (including the Irish Junior Team) competing in the event from the official GB Junior team as well as teams from England, Scotland, Wales, N.Ireland, Denmark, Germany, the USA and Ireland.
The Irish team returned to cheers from fans and supporters at Dublin Airport last night at 18:45.
The Irish Junior Shooting Team is:

Jump To Comment: 1Great to see healthy Irish success at this sport. Few involved will forget the long years of target shooters trying to establish their entitlement to the tools of their sport only to be met by a lot of obstacles from officialdom.
