Ms Caroline Dwyer:

They used the excuse of the ongoing trial, which was already taking place. The fact is that they invited us there and committed to provide the witnesses to us. Ms Heaney and I, and my daughter Aisling, travelled to London in April of last year. We set out who we wanted to meet. Communications went backwards and forwards and as late as two weeks before we travelled it was confirmed that we would meet those people. It was horrendous to hear three hours after we arrived that the meetings were cancelled. I was distraught.
