the world is driven by a dream shaped by and person of those but. no dairy thinks. we dare to ask. in dublin the campaign group justice for the forgotten had for years been demanding a public inquiry into the dublin amman bombings. it still took 7 years for the irish government 6 years after the ira's $994.00 cease fire to agree to a strict form of inquiry under justice henry byron the inquiry found in his own
6:31 pm
careful words and despite london refusing to cooperate with the inquiry that the case for collusion was neither fanciful nor absurd. crucially however for the families bereaved by other glennon martyrs north of the border byron published a full appendix listing the ballistic links between other key attacks. after publication of the barn report it became obvious that there was still no response from the state. very serious allegations of criminality were not called the investigated that there was going to be no response and so we decided that we should respond we should bring people in and their national figures so we approached a number of people u.n. investigators who were to el salvador people who'd worked on the set off interest commission and others academics lawyers people's experience and we invited them to ireland and i asked them to look at the evidence to me was whistleblowers to meet
6:32 pm
with families to meet with p.s. and i was seated on many others and to troll their own conclusions to draw up their own report the international panel report which is what they did and for us it was a very valuable experience to have people from outside the jurisdiction come here look at the evidence and come to their own conclusions. 10 years ago from 2004 to 2006 i had the privilege of chairing an independent international inquiry into potential collusion by british security forces into. paramilitary killings of catholics in northern ireland. they certainly were not a few bad apples there are a significant number of. agents from within the e.u. see the u.d.r. who were involved directly in these killings who are in collusion with them. and
6:33 pm
their activities their illegal activities according to the evidence we received. to their immediate superiors putting a number of chief inspectors inspectors where we were not able to ascertain if. the chain of command this way that we do know the senior authorities in london. of information that should have caused them to further investigations of this collusion in northern ireland we found no no indication that they took that obligation seriously. the next big step change came when they historically inquiries team was set up to investigate all the unsolved of the conflict which quickly. all. the conflicts and within that organization the there was a special team set up to investigate claims of collusion the state was allegedly
6:34 pm
involved in it was headed by a particularly intelligent to tell. a full review number of motos. involved. there was already have been some degrees of collusion. and. security forces that were directly involved but as the review concern years we found out more. about the. i was involved in some of those cases. one case that totally surprised me was the the fatal bombing of the step in in august launching 76 people were killed where there was overseen by. police officers. that really flabbergasted me by the lack of response from the only you
6:35 pm
see. it was quite evident from the outside looking at certain interviews material and documents that elements of the all you see knew that some of their offices who were planning and eventually carried out the face of the step in so many others which are. suspecting customers were inside. what it's incomprehensible to me. but they all use a senior level were aware that a bombing was being carried out and in fact the bombing of the. knowing who was responsible and knowing who they were they still did nothing about it. none of those officers were arrested until 1978 and even then my words were arrested
6:36 pm
specifically for the step in they were arrested for other matters. from the opus 976 until december 19th. the all you see did nothing. for us to step in bombing was the smoking gun because although we believe that it was very similar to a lot of other attacks in the clans there is the difference with the step in was the historical enquiries team under steve morris managed to find all the paperwork . which shows that that. what the authorities had known about. the plan leading up to the step in the carrying out of the bombing itself and the fact that although they knew every single person who'd been involved in the planning the coordination the determining of the target the making of the bomb the storing up the bomb everything then you everybody and everything about this ball despite that and spite
6:37 pm
the fact that 2 people were killed and a huge number of other people were very seriously engines not one single person was charged or convicted without bombing despite the r.u.c. knowing everything about it. the more we realize that all those years were. of course. devastated and then the sim came true even if. relief. that i had gone on a cord. because a new army was there and check the horsing out need to check this cone of pharma and its orders. and their army and the police rather than copy argentina bonior. and known as the are you question. and question on the haiti teetotallers one thing that there was this survey of. the mid-afternoon and then
6:38 pm
you had bones there for years so this did committed the murder that is not just order. and wait your partner changed the bed. only part of the inquest put forward and no more. oh no what they do. it was clear deals from seein the individual reports or call it from a story point queries team what we were looking at here was all. coordinated attacks. some of the same people used the same weapons same farmhouses same high same modus operandi or working together and truly understand what was happening and who needed to be looked at as a whole the daily thing else would be to each individual attack to individualize it
6:39 pm
which didn't tell the bigger story the story that was understood a play said quarters that was understood as army headquarters at the time that these were coordinated actions and indeed that some members of the security forces were taking part in these attacks and so we said. that the only way to properly understand this was to produce an overarching report they agreed they began to work on it was never completed was never delivered. what we think the prospect of an overarching. report. in the pearson i because. the conclusions would have been just too strong it would have essentially made the case. and in fact it would have amounted to recognition confirmation collusion existed within the security forces in this particular sector in the conflict i suppose politically for many many other reasons just comfortable
6:40 pm
for many people for the british government. pulling out of the overarching report is just unacceptable for the focus. of the fundamental elements of my report would have been for these questions to be almost how is it a group of place officers. know that they can go back to a farm where there is a bomb in a car having been on the surveillance and yet they know they can go back the following. and the bomb goes off will drive in the confidence that they were not going to be apprehended there and then. or some lights a stage for me that is the biggest question that needs to be answered. desperate to get to the truth before some of the elderly bereaved relatives die
6:41 pm
steve morris is on answered questions were put before the courts and. their lawyers challenged the haiti's failure to write the thematic report that they were promised . amongst the legal exhibits provided to the high court was a copy of on cadwallader as lethal allies the 1st time any such group was accepted as a legal exhibit in the northern courts. in july 27 tane the courts delivered a stunning victory for the families ordering the chief constable to come up within weeks with inseparable independent fully resourced report to fulfil its e.t.s. prompts. humiliated the chief constable of pain despite objections from the bereaved families 11 of whom and passed away since the court case began.
6:42 pm
it's been alone hard road for the families today it honest was just being very disappointing that the overarching report that would have pulled everton together and made all the connections wasn't being completed to there. how important is today for the. importance frustrating yes it was disappointing you have your ups and downs equally in this story but i did however frustration and sadness is to me there are people all. no not to have lost family so who are getting up this morning wondering if this is going to be the day and they finally get some justice. so these days you never know what the courts are going to decide but there's no doubt about this in the 3 months since groundbreaking pictionary in the courts on the 28th of
6:43 pm
july 27th jean although the p.s. and i and the state were ordered by the judge to negotiate with us and come forward with a green groups to inquiry enter a horse we've just discovered that they have done nothing this reminds us of nothing so if you are an individual or a citizen and you are ordered to do something by course you have to do it because somehow if your police force and you're ordered by courts to something you can get away with doing nothing for at least 3 months and if they decide to appeal today which is possible it could delay everything right here some of our family members are old ill they might be hearing again just see the report that they wish it and thought the sun on come into existence.

1st one the courthouse and the rare move ordered that they play should not take action on complete the report that was promised to all of these families a 2nd issue is listening pre-sent and move the court has asked for the place to provide often even evidence compelling and setting out why they have not given any notes or records as to why this decision was taken the reality is this decision has been made clear by the court is as much on lawful by tame the justices no longer delay it to the follies of going on and i just was done on the piece completed the support without any endless litigation. almost 4 years since we started this case and. i have watched. probably my mission to get and possibly on this all the family members that's are at the going on serious pasta. for the families their spin on emotional torture a sick
6:47 pm
a lot logical torture. and it's near tame that. george hamilton relays that enough is enough on the day off the dinosaur are you see days are over to have a proper place in the house to be a furnace and just as i think. about it i think. some fall we've identified says people who were involved in the murders of 120 past people who are members of the circle security forces we've named most of them there may be others we don't know of very few spend a day in jail now that's too many people over short few he has involved in 120 murders in one geographic small geographical area to be explainable by the bad apples larry as far as the victims were concerned they would just come natural. damage in what was a state systemic policy of collusion now as far as the family is
6:48 pm
a concern and they have the right to truth and justice some want apology and acknowledgment others want day in court will support whatever they choose. well it's amazing how the truth comes out is george greenwich 50 that said it comes like go down to the door. and it has happened from time to time. some people have for a not conscious has taken them and they have revealed different material and as years have gone by of course the families have been interested in of trying to find out the truth of what happened and who was responsible but at the same time a lot of awfully sick killings haven't been. going to church at the authorities today and they had to care for information about the new year for collusion but
6:49 pm
what in comparison to the sure bunch of collusion and they on solved it's not all that it's not very creative. when they get. on shushed and just at the only just a style of not one. aspect of a cut now. exposed. for what they did. jackson made on ahead tell. the tale this last more. shows got the police protection. and. i think it went to the very very top. i think it. crossed the water where politicians. knew what was going on and give the go ahead. on basically
6:50 pm
the arctic change without pain. doing a great job by ought. don't be getting caught and drop an also into problems. i suppose what still needs to be don't mistake get an acknowledgment of what actually help looks the other states in the period of the troubles to the period of the conflict take to protect themselves as a neutral arbiter at this stage that story doesn't stack up any more the british did were involved in the most killings they were involved with loyalist paramilitaries. her alone. i suppose my abiding hope would be that we can tell that story and that we can honor those who lost their lives to the killers of acts of members of the security forces.
