find time to reignite. there's an ironic tragedy between the beauty of this man and the dark secrets and home. i followed up my mother in the late sixties and they got married and sat all polled in belfast at the time my father was working in the rolls royce factory in belfast . until some of his war colleagues find out he was a catholic and he had to leave. he then worked as a postman in the area for a while at this stage we were living in the style millis area of belfast. there are a small number of catholic families living in the area at the time and on we'd been warned on a number of occasions it was time to move out and i suppose the final straw for us was whenever i'd almost after one of our near neighbors at windowsills and mommy and daddy obviously say the thought stage it was time to move out of it all fussed
12:33 pm
on the decision was taken to move on at that stage. a band from birmingham mommy wanted to move there she felt would be safer but my father loved the countryside so thomaso we ended up there. i suppose my last recollections of my father are and leaving to go to the hospital to visit mommy and my sister ocean and she was only 2 days old at the time. not really the last that i can remember of them c.n.n. going out to that the front door to visit them in the hospital. and up particular even my aunts and was with my father on the intention was to stop on this bar on the way home and i was out of breakers drunk with his workmates. they don't need just to write about the same time as the gunmen. as they arrived in this. don't mean killing him almost immediately michael don't leave the bar owner.

to bring the door to. the inside of the building with bullets. shooting my father on the number of other individuals and seriously injuring them through. it only on the. most instantly. the bomb exploded. my father was probably already dead because he'd been shot and before. i came to work in ireland in 981 i found myself increasingly drawn to cases of miscarriage of justice when nobody else was taking a particular interest and also in the potential for the state to take life
12:35 pm
illegally and as a journalist you're always looking for stories that nobody else is investigating it was an ordinary sunday morning and i was reading the paper and a name sprang out of the page at me breckon all somebody called bracknell had been killed in south. and i thought breck no that's not a south. so i managed to contact the family and went down to meet them and i would assist with scene. will have been killed explained to his widow who was sitting in the room with me exactly what has happened and it was a shocking shocking experience it was a fast time that. her husband had been mad i think the shock of what we find. to the family really how little we know about my father's killing and he was actually responsible for. expecting them to. on the
12:36 pm
story and say give us everything you've got but the interaction was quite different it was not enough to catholic substory. i was just so so disappointed and. this reaction to what i've discovered. pushed for the story be written and in the end it was. in and around this time information started to emerge about what would be enormous loyalist attacks in the area. i suppose i didn't know much more about watertown other than that a group called the right wing commando claimed responsibility for the attack. so at this time i begin to ask questions of myself about what i did or didn't know but what i actually help and i started to ask questions of local people about what they remembered about what they knew about the night and but we didn't know it really know where to go to try and find out more answers and at that stage someone mentioned to me the center in derry help families and similar situations to
12:37 pm
ourselves. i think it was 1009. 100 the office very softly spoken very friendly and he was wearing a suit and we thought he was a photocopy or or or a printer and instead he began to tell us about the attack on the part one of his dad and what happened on the park round he was aware that there was not david available where we made a number of very serious allegations but clues behavior and a number of attacks on the area. so we agreed we would look at it in detail and look at all the different attacks that happened in the area at the time it was all very new deal so. up to the point we've been knocked out from the number of cases we cannot differ on flotus on the. bloody sunday justice campaign was was based on the office and we agreed to call together a meeting of what's says in the open and silverbridge and what to says came forward a lot of one. this has came forward. and i suppose the significance of the meeting
12:38 pm
was that you had families with evidence and information but you also had witnesses the events on the significance of this being that there were so many connections so many permutations so many leads to follow and obviously these had never been followed by official bodies or for people in authority even little it's been a huge leap in full and then we've lived as you know this is something we need to do we need to take this forward and you know what happened in my home in my local was killed in the incident is connected to what happened on the road is connected the hop and over just across the other country what happened. that they was partial in the sense that if we were in the room we appointed to get either a witness to something the how to lead piece of evidence that connected to the connected to the what really was unfolding was the sense that there was this gang security force people are supposed to protect people supposed to bring people there just those who are actually conducting these killings and county in the moat. you
12:39 pm
might imagine that in a normal situation they'd been they'd been asked to give statements that the police would have asked them for statements this hadn't happened and they came forward and we began to realize some we were going to solve and much much bigger. as we began to research us under talked to people in the local area many of them told also there was actually an officer involved and they original list he was actually in charge although he was novice or very little rank that they believed was a person of integrity they believed he tried to get to the bottom of this but couldn't . he talk to the families a number of times over the years and they the families told us that he will be an absolutely fighter person for us to talk to.
12:40 pm
families of those killed in an attack on a bias silverbridge 24 years ago have appealed for a fresh inquiry into the out of trust say. so we arranged a press conference at the tail end appealed for him to come forward we thought of them lightly but in fact he did and he made contact with us shortly afterwards through a journalist. it was quite an extraordinary making a many ways we were accompanied by a number of family members and this police officer who still serve and made a number of statements out to me that made austria lace a what we were looking up was actually a much wider range of attacks the what we were looking not was the klan on counting . demanding to come out of the meeting which was the term he used permutations of the same guy were also responsible for the other attacks and so i think concerning the murders of sean foreman called mccartney and august 1985 they were returning from the final of a football match on the also that opening on monaghan bombings of me in 1984.
