THE widow of Sean Downes, who was killed after being struck by a plastic bullet fired by an RUC officer, has criticised British government legacy plans.
Mr Downes (22), who was known as John to his family, died after being hit by a plastic bullet during a republican anti-internment rally in west Belfast in 1984.
His family has launched a legal challenge over a decision by the attorney general to turn down a request for a fresh inquest.
