‘What we have heard today are things we have known for years’

THE Justice for the Forgotten campaign group last night described the report as incredibly significant but queried why the committee had stopped short of recommending a public inquiry.

Margaret Urwin, secretary of the campaign group, said yesterday’s report had left no ambiguities in detailing the extent of collusion between loyalist groups and Britain.

While recognising that the decision to refer the matter to the Dáil for debate might better ensure the co-operation of the British Government, Ms Urwin was critical of the committee for not taking the opportunity to make more recommendations within the report.
