I also agree with Senator Labhrás Ó Murchú in regard to the appalling murders in Ballymurphy. I am sorry I did not get to meet their relatives, owing to another engagement I had this morning. Let us be honest about this. We all know that the Taoiseach has met them and agrees wholeheartedly with them, and has raised their concerns with the British Prime Minister, Mr. Cameron. I have no doubt that these are matters that will not be dropped, and the Taoiseach has raised his concerns about the murder of the Pat Finucane and others. Senator Ó Murchú recounted how a priest waving a white flag was shot in cold blood. Nothing more dastardly could happen. We all share that concern. We are ad idemon that and, hopefully, we will continue to pursue what the Senator called for.
