Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (7 Dec 2023)

Peadar Tóibín: British state forces have murdered hundreds of people in Ireland, North and South. In the majority of cases, those murders were covered up by the British state. Hundreds of families have spent decades trying to get to truth and justice in that regard. The British legacy Act has now stated that cannot happen. It looks to cover up even more of those murders. We have only one chance to...

Peadar Tóibín: I have always felt the Irish Government was reluctant because it has had an instinct that it should operate within the bounds of diplomacy and that diplomacy is the best way to try to get the British across the line in terms of change. It strikes me that the unilateralism that is at the heart of the Tory Government at the moment is impervious to diplomacy. In fact, when we saw the European...
