Business of Joint Committee
Engagement with WAVE Trauma Centre
Ms Maria Lynskey:
There is something I would like to ask him. Mary Lou McDonald has stated quite a few times that all victims need to know the truth. I have already said this. Are we, as victims, excluded from this? Do we not need to know? The answer is so easy. It is just a matter of location. I have had enough of listening to this. During the dig for my uncle, the information that was given was that there were two bodies there. Do these people realise how cruel that was to us? I have never spoken about this because I have to be delighted about the two bodies that were found but you have no idea of what I went through in those ten minutes before I arrived at that location. I would like to say to Paul Maskey that they have the power to do something for us when information is coming across. I am as entitled to that as every other victim, and so are the McVeighs and the Dorrians. We are all entitled to it. I thank the committee for listening to me.
