The sister of murdered Dublin man Joseph Rafferty has said the people who killed her brother belong to Sinn Féin and the IRA.

Esther Rafferty told RTÉ Radio One's News At One programme that she contacted a Sinn Féin councillor prior to her brother's death, spelling out her fears for his life.

The chairman for Sinn Féin Dublin later told RTÉ News the murderers were not members of the Sinn Féin organisation.
