Mr. Mickey Brady:

I wish to reinforce Deputy Maureen O'Sullivan's point about the lack of knowledge and the ignorance. My party colleagues in Westminster and I have met three or four British MPs, all former members of the British army, who are trying to introduce a motion about an amnesty. They had no knowledge of specific incidents, particularly two children in my constituency, Kevin Heatley and Majella O'Hare, who were murdered by British army soldiers. They were not concerned. They obviously had done no research. It was simply that they wanted an amnesty and that was it. This reinforces what Deputy Maureen O'Sullivan is saying. I have found an appalling ignorance and lack of knowledge in Westminster about any political situation, not just in the North, but in Ireland as a whole.
