I would like the Taoiseach to commit Government support to the family of Seamus Ludlow. Seamus Ludlow was a man who was killed in May 1976 outside Dundalk by loyalists, including members of the British Army. Yesterday, we heard the news that Mr. Jon Boutcher will lead a cross-border investigation, that is, an investigation involving the North and South. There were absolute failings on the part of the Garda, RUC and politicians north and south. We have all seen "Unquiet Graves" in the past while and know the reality of British collusion. We know the reality of the operation of death squads. The Ludlow family has been failed miserably and has been told lies. It has experienced nothing but failed investigations, and even failures in this House. Therefore, could we get Government support and all the resources necessary?
