Maureen O'Sullivan (Dublin Central, Independent) | Oireachtas source

It is difficult to accept that the British Government is still considering ways that "would adequately address the motions and be consistent with its obligations", which is the official jargon. My question is what about its obligations to the truth and justice for the victims and their families. Advising and being concerned have not brought the Justice for the Forgotten group any closer to justice. If the British Parliament had passed three motions calling on the Irish Government to release certain documents, I do not know whether the British Parliament would be waiting 43 years for their release. I ask that between now and 17 May the necessary vigour that is required for an international judge to be appointed be applied or even for the process to begin to suggest names that might be acceptable to both Governments and Justice for the Forgotten.

I have to acknowledge the group, Justice for the Forgotten, because they would have been forgotten but for their persistent efforts.
