Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

Representatives of the Ballymurphy Families

Mr. John Teggart:

I commend the Chair on the way the meeting has gone today and the proposals being put forward. There are a lot of issues on which I ask the clerk to the committee to keep the families in the loop going forward. Many points were raised. After the meeting maybe we could get a checklist and as we progress we can update that and come back to it every couple of weeks to see where we are and what we need focused on, for ourselves, our solicitor and everybody at the meeting today. I thank every one of the members for giving us time and a platform. That is what our campaign is about - a platform for awareness. I would urge a wee bit of a nudge towards RTÉ to show "Massacre at Ballymurphy" because as was said, a lot of people still do not know what happened in Ballymurphy. That documentary was partly funded by RTÉ and with a wee nudge in the right direction, it would be good timing for that to go on RTÉ as soon as possible.
