The Taoiseach stated that the holding of an inquiry either in Northern Ireland or Britain would not be without problems. Does he agree there is a need to press further for the holding of a full public inquiry in this jurisdiction? Does he not accept the view of the relatives that it would be extremely onerous on them to have an inquiry held across the water and to expect people to go back and forward? Will he use the provisions of strand 3 of the Good Friday Agreement to ensure it is held in this jurisdiction and that it is fully open to both Governments to have an input into it? Will he use his persuasive powers to ensure the British co-operate with a full public inquiry in this jurisdiction?
