Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement
Representatives of the Ballymurphy Families
Mr. Francie Molloy:
The British Government has closed down the criminal justice route, asserting that we should look forward and not back. Do the families have any faith in that approach? How can the families navigate around that situation? What can all the political parties here and outside of here, and also the Irish Government, do to ensure that there is justice and accountability for the actions of the British army 50 years ago? Criminal acts were carried out in Ballymurphy. Murders were committed. Therefore, we need an adequate response whereby people are charged and the criminal justice process is followed through. I apologise for the disruption.
