There was also one from mine. Members of Justice for the Forgotten were forced to go to court recently in order to get access to documents that had been made available to the MacEntee inquiry. This is being contested by the Government. Why does the Government want to contest this access? Is there some information the Government does not want to provide?

The relatives of the 11 people killed in the Ballymurphy area of Belfast recently visited Dublin to highlight this issue. Has the Taoiseach had a chance to review this case and does he plan to raise it with the British Government with a view to having it investigated further? The document they presented, 1971 Ballymurphy Internment Massacre, speaks for itself. A number of issues there deserve further consideration.
