Like Senator Gavan, I attended the gathering in the audiovisual room that is still under way. We were obliged to leave it to attend the Order of Business here. A presentation is being made, chaired by Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin, on the killing on 21 February 1988 by a British soldier of Aidan McAnespie, a man who for more than seven years had suffered intimidation every time he crossed the Border at Aughnacloy, County Tyrone to visit his relatives in County Monaghan. Five days a week, on his way to work and on the way back, he experienced the intimidation. Any independent analysis of his killing would come to no other conclusion than that it was murder.
