Haven't looked into this.. Could be political or it could be just for the fact that he emigrated to America, & did his fighting there instead of the Emerald Isle..
Many people in that area, think the USA helped supply the IRA with weapons..
This is all just speculation, but I doubt I'm far from the truth..
It's a shame, cos an honest guy like Wayne would've only been doing what's best for his family...
