In the Minister of State's contribution, he referred to the major review that was conducted and the subsequent report of Mr. McGinn. Neither has provided any answers or justice to the family. It is not good enough to say it is unlikely that what actually happened will come to light, and that this is why a commission of investigation will not be established. This is a position that the Minister of State and Government should re-examine. It is not good enough to say it is unlikely that evidence will be found and that the Government will therefore not even consider a commission of investigation. That is deeply regrettable. Ultimately, the family of somebody who died 36 years ago remains without answers and justice. In this day and age, that is a great shame. I ask the Minister of State to reconsider the proposal for a commission of investigation.
