Ms Maria Lynskey:

On previous deaths, we discovered that my uncle was a disappeared when my father was alive. He and my brother spoke to Sinn Féin and they probably spoke to members of the IRA. They told us that they knew nothing about Joe and that Joe probably was in England or America. We actually believed that. My brother actually called his house “the yellow brick road”. We will come back to you; we never heard from them again. They had plenty of opportunities in 38 years even to let us know that he was deceased. We lived believing that he was in America. My brother went to America for a holiday one time and was told he had just missed him and that he had given a speech for the Irish Northern Aid Committee, NORAID. We were told all these things through the years and then, 11 years ago, Ed Moloney came and told us the truth. Believe you me, I have had enough of talking to Sinn Féin.
