Ms Carmel Quinn:

I want to speak about the impact it had on our family. I was eight years old when John was murdered. On the morning he was murdered, my other brother who was 18 years old was arrested. My mother and father spent two days looking for them because they did not know where they were at the start. Christmas 1971 really sticks out in my mind as an eight year old. Terry was jailed on 18 December for riotous behaviour, a conviction that was quashed in 2015. There was no Christmas tree in our house. Our house was always full of activity because I was the baby of 11, but there was nothing. It was like a silence came over our home. My mother and father were totally devastated and just trying to cope. The fact is that there were nightly raids on our home. That was what the army did. It targeted the homes of the people who were murdered. It targeted them to try to keep us quiet. It tried to demonise the families through the nightly raids. It was just another way of trying to keep the families down.

My mother was never the same person after that. When I went to school she collected me, we went to the graveyard and we went to mass. That was my time as an eight year old, so I grew up with this. It also has an impact on my life. I am very conscious all the time of where my children are. They are adults now. I am very alert all the time and very anxious. That was the impact it had on my life. The rest of my older siblings were never the same again. They did not live the lives they should have lived. That is why I sometimes get very angry. Not only did they murder my brother, they destroyed an entire family. Being the youngest, I watched it. I watched my mother slowly dying in front of me. My father died at 61 years of age of a broken heart. It was just horrendous. That is why we got justice - that our loved ones were innocent. We need investigations. We will never move on.

My mother died in 2000. I was holding her hand when she died. That is the way she should have died. I can accept that. My heart was broken, but I was able to accept my mother passing. I cannot accept what happened my 20-year-old brother.
