Sir Kenneth Bloomfield:

This is one of the most moving exercises in which I have been involved, in a very long public career. I remember days when people like me would have felt not very welcome in Crossmaglen. I have been to Crossmaglen several times. I have been entertained in the Crossmaglen Rangers clubhouse. There is now is wide agreement across the community - left, right and centre - that this really is a blur on the history of our island and that really it is the duty of everybody to come forward and help us if they can.

I will repeat what we have said already. We are not a court of law. We are not a court of morality. We just have a simple end in mind and that is to bring solace to those families that have been bereaved for so many years.
