ROBERT Delany has endured a living death for 17 years.
The innocent postman, shot on the orders of a psycho dissident Republican in 2008 because he broke up a pub fight, survived the hit - but will never speak, laugh or hug his daughters again.
All the while, the ruthless thug who ordered the shooting because he was embarrassed walks free.
This Is Robert examines why he was shot, Dublin's insidious criminal underworld, the gun-for-hire who blasted him twice in the head and his family's refusal to give up on justice.
With contributions from Robert's parents Terry and Noeleen, sister Siobhan, eldest daughter Megan, retired Detective Inspector Pat Lordan and Irish Sun crime editor Stephen Breen.
