It is a matter primarily, in my opinion, for the Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs and Tradeand I concur with my colleague Senator Daly - it is a scandal. I compliment the fact that we have dealt with the Kingsmill documents but it is a disgrace that the British have hidden documents. This means that they are still participating in collusion. If they continue to deny documentation and conceal evidence with regard to atrocities and terrorism - and this was state terrorism by the British - they are a participant and are as guilty of collusion as those who participated in the actual bombings. I think we should be unequivocal about this. There is a unanimous decision of Dáil Éireann with regard to this issue, which has been ignored by the British now for some ten years. It is totally unacceptable.
