Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I endorse what Deputy Martin said and appeal to the Taoiseach, if he possibly can, to meet with the Justice for the Forgotten, the Ballymurphy families and the families of the disappeared with the others who are waiting to meet him before the recess.

I wish to make a brief comment and also a suggestion which I have made a number of times in the past. The Taoiseach cited thanking the Canadian Prime Minister for the work of General de Chastelain, Judge Cory and so on. He may have done this but a useful advance on that would be to ask Canadian Prime Minister to quietly raise these outstanding issues with the British Prime Minister. That is one of the ways the British have been encouraged to move in the past and I would commend it again.
