Ms Margaret Urwin:

There was one other thing. Senator Black referred to the fact of people here not really knowing anything about what went on in the North and when we appeared before the committee nearly four years ago, I spoke about the amnesia on the point that there are victims of the conflict in this jurisdiction. I spoke about the amnesia of Governments. I spoke about the amnesia of the media in particular; the Southern media do not report much of what has happened in respect of cases in the North or collusion. It is just totally swept under the carpet and is not dealt with at all and I think that is part of the problem. I note that for many years, section 31 of the Broadcasting Authority Act was in force, which had a detrimental effect on this State. The media still continue to ignore the conflict in general.
