Professor Bill Rolston:

I suggest that the Cathaoirleach's latter point on bringing pressure on military organisations, past or present, is beyond our brief. We completely agree with him regarding the families of the disappeared because, in a way, that is a compounded difficulty they have. At least, most of the families we deal with have a body and a grave to go to. The families of the disappeared do not. There is no way whatsoever that this legacy Bill makes those bodies more likely to be found.
