Tony Gregory (Dublin Central, Independent)

Does the Minister accept the new British legislation, the Inquiries Act, restricts the control of inquiry judges, allows for the deletion of details of findings made by the inquiry and transfers control of the inquiry from the judges to a Government Minster? The inquiry on offer is a British Government controlled inquiry into collusion by the British Government security services. As such, the inquiry has been rejected by the Finucane family. An independently verifiable full public inquiry is required. Without such an inquiry the end result will be another cover-up. Just as the British Government refused to co-operate on the matter of the Dublin and Monaghan bombings, it refuses to co-operate with the Finucane family demand for a transparent public inquiry.
