Ruairí Ó Murchú (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I absolutely agree that we want to see justice. We also want to see a fair trial. Based on what the Tánaiste said, there will be plenty of interaction and eyes on this from our point of view. It was necessary that UNIFIL carried out its particular investigation. Obviously, our Defence Forces have their piece of work to do. This needs to be followed up with a Garda inquiry. All of this is about making sure we get justice for Seán Rooney, a young man who lost his life peacekeeping. He was from a family who have given much commitment to the Defence Forces over many years. We need to make sure we fulfil our part of that particular commitment. We also need to make sure that whatever needs to be learned is learned, and do what we can to avoid any more of these particular types of circumstances. We will be absolutely clear on who did it. It never should have happened and we all feel for the Rooney family.
