Mr. Pádraig Ó Muirigh:

I want to reply to Mr. Teggart and I thank him for his comments. He and his family will be only too familiar with the obstacles, legal and otherwise, that the families have faced because they have had to face them for many years.

In terms of the next steps, we issued civil proceedings in parallel with the inquest. In light of the damning findings by Mrs. Justice Keegan, that matter will proceed with vigour. It is listed for 11 June at the High Court in Belfast and we can update the committee about that in the future. These families also have a right to an independent investigation, which never occurred, to examine the criminal actions of the British army over the course of three days in Ballymurphy. Mrs. Justice Keegan highlighted many of those actions by the soldiers in her detailed findings. The British Government's proposals on an amnesty will be vigorously opposed by the families when they come forward, and this committee could obviously play its part in supporting the families in that regard. We will be calling, and we hope the committee will continue to call, for the full implementation of the Stormont House Agreement. The Ballymurphy campaign for justice will continue even after these findings. There is a great deal of work still to be done to oppose the British Government's unilateral moves.
