Mr. Michael Monaghan:

I have been in court many times since 2007, when the Operation Ballast report was released by Baroness Nuala O'Loan, who is a lovely lady. I have sat in front of three judges. The barristers, or QCs, for the PSNI-RUC have turned around and told the three judges that they cannot give them documents because they are too sensitive. These judges have turned around and said that they would read them and they would tell the families behind closed doors. They gave them plenty of weeks. They gave them 12 weeks but there was no reply. They gave them another 13 weeks but there was no reply. There has still not been a reply, and that was six years ago. It is saying that to judges who we believe are meant to be representing the truth and justice for our families but we are not getting it. We are being let down, big time.

Do I put my trust in the system? No, I do not because it is going on for years. I have lost a lot of family through the Troubles. I just want some sort of justice.
