Mr. Raymond McCord:

I am not getting at Professor Harvey. We met before. They put papers out, which ordinary working-class people have no interest in. We do not need a big document comprising 40 or 50 pages to know that murder is wrong or that we should respect each other. We know there should be equality. We know what the truth is. We do not need a truth commission. I know that the people who murdered my son were working for the state. I do not need a truth commission to tell me that. I do not need the murderers to come forward to tell me that. We know that, but it looks good for some academics. This has long been a real bugbear for victims: being told the way forward by people who are not victims and those who do not live in the same way. In Belfast in particular, you go from a Protestant area into a Catholic area and back into a Protestant area. Perhaps a good suggestion would be for all Protestant men to marry Catholic women and vice versain order that we would all get together that way. Senator Currie might agree with that.
