Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

Outstanding Legacy Issues affecting Victims and Relatives in Northern Ireland: Discussion

9:30 am

Ms Amanda Fullerton:

It would be very helpful. I would really appreciate that.

We have requested a meeting with the Tánaiste and I understand it will take place fairly soon. It is a case of a lack of truth and justice, but moving forward, I think this particular case has gone on as long as all of the other cases. It is a case of "They might go away." The re-establishment of the inquest would be something on which we would insist, with a proper thorough inquest this time. The Irish Government has a responsibility under Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights for the Fullerton family to receive a proper, thorough and transparent investigation into the murder of Eddie Fullerton. We have not received this to date. We will seek to have the case reviewed independently of the Garda.
