Rafferty's sister, Esther Uzell-Rafferty, claimed that the IRA had killed her brother, and that Doolan knew the identity of his killer,[15] [16] [17] Taoiseach Bertie Ahern . Ahern stated "I don't think there were any instructions given by the IRA," adding: "Elements, probably of criminality, claimed they had links with republicans ."[18] Garda in the investigation of Rafferty's murder.[17]
After losing his seat in June 2009, Doolan was hired in October as the coordinator for the Dublin Citywide Drugs Crisis Campaign, an organisation that promotes a community development approach to tackling the drugs problem.
