There is clearly a systemic problem with disclosure concerning state killings, particularly where collusion is a feature and that is a difficulty. Successive British Prime Ministers have talked about a different narrative about the conflict in the North, but clearly this is a difficulty. The weapons used in this were brought in from South Africa as we know. Many of the killers were British operatives. They were trained, given information and sent out to kill. That needs to be dealt with by the British state. We need to support these families. Those families were waiting for many years with delay after delay. Withholding sensitive information such as this undermines the justice system. We may need to look at different ways of dealing with this. Clearly this has undermined the PSNI and the justice system.

The British Government needs to wake up to the fact that people, in particular these families, are losing patience.
