Labhrás Ó Murchú (Fianna Fail)

I wish to take up the point raised by Senator Brian Hayes. In small countries like Ireland, citizens realise fully what it means to be part of a partnership such as the EU. The Union provides us with protection and opportunities. One element of that partnership is the European Court of Human Rights. I am pleased that this court will next month examine allegations of British collusion in the Dublin-Monaghan bombings. The Justice for the Forgotten group is to be complimented on its perseverance on behalf of its members' loved ones. The group contends that the British authorities did not provide information to the Irish inquiry because that information would demonstrate the extent of collusion by the British army and the RUC with loyalist terrorist gangs. I hope we will give the group every support in its case before the European Court of Human Rights.
