Mr. Alan Bracknell:

To go back to your comments about the Ballymurphy inquest, the big issue there is acknowledgement. It is acknowledging that something happened to someone. Unfortunately not everyone will get the inquest or that level of acknowledgement and that public level of acknowledgement. That does not mean to say that there should not be mechanisms put in place by both Governments that attempt to get that level of acknowledgement. That is where the investigative body has the opportunity of actually looking at it and saying that if a family wants to engage with that sort of process, it is there for them. Everything that can be done will be done to ensure that whatever information is available can be given to the families. There are obviously the other mechanisms there as well. The oral history archive gives the opportunity for families to tell their story and to document in some way what actually happened to the individual - who the individual was. That is what gets lost in an awful lot of this – you are just another figure, you are just another statistic. Unfortunately we talk about the 3,700 deaths but we do not talk about who those individuals were at times. What is important out of any of this process is that we remember who those individuals were. It is not just the people who died in high-profile incidents or who can campaign and have the power to campaign. Everyone should be remembered. There are lots of lost victims so to speak - people who are sitting at home very quietly who have massive issues. They are the people that we need to be reaching out to. That is what this whole process, the Stormont House Agreement legislation, all of that should be about reaching out to those individuals who have not come forward to date, who have unanswered questions. The only way that can be done is if both Governments are prepared to grab the bull by the horns and actually do something positive about it, as opposed to just paying lip-service, which seems to be where it is at at the minute. We met with the NIO a number of weeks ago. It is still collating its response to the consultation. How long does this go on? We need to see some sort of action, not just from the British Government but also from the Irish Government.
