Labhrás Ó Murchú (Fianna Fail)

The case of murdered solicitor Pat Finucane has again come centre stage. The European Court of Human Rights has found Britain guilty of a breach of human rights because there was not sufficient investigation of the suspicion that there was security force collusion in the murder. I ask the Leader to raise this matter with the Minister for Foreign Affairs in the hope the inquiry sought by the Finucane family will be granted. We should have this inquiry because of the terrible trauma suffered by the family and in order to ensure there can be confidence in the security forces in the future. It is important it takes place soon because the longer the delay continues the less hope there will be of creating confidence in the security system in Northern Ireland.
