Mr. Michael McConville:

I had plenty of contact with republican people over trying to get the whereabouts of our mother's body. I thought at the time that they were trying their best to help me but it got to the stage where, at one of the last meetings, the person I was meeting more or less wanted to fight with me. That was the reason why they shut the meetings down that I was having with people. I wanted the IRA to turn around and admit that they were wrong in murdering our mother. They were blaming our mother for being an informant, which she was not. It was proved that she was not an informant. She was a widowed mother of ten children. What would she know? She never went out anywhere to find out information about these people. I found out that most of the stuff they told me was lies.
