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 hour a 1904 cease fire to agree to a restricted form of inquiry under justice henry byron the inquiry found in his own
10:31 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 where knock on 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 side 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
10:32 pm
with families to meet with p.s. and i was seated on many others and a 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. military killings of catholics in northern ireland. they certainly were a few bad apples there are a significant number. 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
10:33 pm
their activities there are illegal activities according to the evidence we received . to their immediate superiors putting a number of chief inspectors inspectors where we were able to ascertain if. the chain of command this went we do know that senior authorities in the. notice of information that should have caused them to further investigations of this collusion in northern ireland we found no no indication that they took their obligation seriously. the next big step change came when they historically inquiries team was set up to investigate all the of the conflict which quickly. all. the conflicts and within that organization. there was a special team to investigate claims of collusion the state was allegedly involved
10:34 pm
in it was headed by a particularly intelligent detached. a full review number of. involved. in some degrees of collusion. and. directly involved. in years and we found out more. about the. i was involved in some of those cases. the one crisis the totally surprised me was the the fatal bombing of the step in in august launching 76 people were killed where there was overseen by a woman all for police offices. that really flabbergasted me by the lack of
10:35 pm
response from the only you see. it was quite evident from the outside looking at certain interviews material and documents that elements of the all you say 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. 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
10:36 pm
specifically for the step in they were arrested for other matters. from the 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 facts that although they knew every single person who'd been involved in the planning the old 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
10:37 pm
and spite the fact that 2 people were killed and huge number of other people were very seriously engines not one single person was charged or convicted without bombing despite the i.e.c. knowing everything about it. the more we realize we all those years now. of course. devastated not the same came true we better. relief. that i had gone on to. the cause a new army was there and check the horsing out of me the check dish cone of pharma and they told us. their army and the british was in company argue a bone wash. and known as the i.e. question. and question on the haiti tito bridge one thing that there was this
10:38 pm
survey of. the mid afternoon and then you had bowman there for years show they still committed the murder that is not just order. and place your partner changed the bed. only part of the inquest put forward and no more common age. oh no what they don't. it was clear deals for c. in the individual reports or call it from the story to inquiries team what we were looking at here was also. coordinated attacks. some of the same people using 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 daily thing else would be the case each individual attack to individual is
10:39 pm
that which didn't tell the bigger story the story that was understood a tree said quarters that was understood as army headquarters at the time but these were coordinated actions and indeed that some members of the security forces were taking part in these attacks and so we said to the cittie 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 it was never delivered. when we think the prospect of an overarching. thematic report. appears and 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
10:40 pm
conflict i suppose politically for many many other reasons just comfortable for many people for the british government. pulling out of the overarching report on not really is just acceptable for the. fundamental elements of my report would have been for these questions to be honest how is it a group of plays 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 while driving the confidence that they were not going to be apprehended there and then. or some lighter stites for me that is the biggest question that needs to be answered.
10:41 pm
desperate to get to the truth before some of the elderly bereaved relatives die steve morris is on unsequenced and were put before the courts and belfast. their lawyers challenge 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 27th the court's delivered a stunning victory for the families ordering the chief constable to come up within weeks with an acceptable independent fully resourced report to fulfil its e.t.s. prompts. humiliated the chief constable the pain despite objections from the very families 11 of home and passed away since the court case began.
10:42 pm
its main alone hard road for the families to do it on us was has been very disappointing but the overarching report that would have pulled everton together and who made all the connections wasn't being completed to there. how important is today for the. horton it's frustrating yes it was disappointing you have your ups and downs equally in the story but i did however have frustration and sadness is to me there are people all. no you have lost families who are getting up this morning wondering if this is going to be a good day and they finally get some justice. so these days you never know what the courts are games to decide but there's no doubt about this
10:43 pm
in the 3 months since groundbreaking dictionary in the courts on the 28th of july 27th jean although the p.s. and i and the state were ordered by the judge to go see it with us and come forward with a green route to an inquiry into reports we've just discovered that they have done nothing. absolutely nothing so if you're an individual or a citizen and you are ordered to do something by of course you have to do it because somehow if you're cleese horse and you're all right 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 holes will they might be here and am just see the report that the gracious and thoughtful son all come into existence.
10:44 pm
so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this on off and spearing dramatic development the only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. looper doughy or they'll use opinion. oh yeah it's for we've gotten yet spoiled yet so we pulled it. for on that we've gotten pretty traditional as a walk through it. but just to be you know pretty good. oh yes. so you're going to look again just beautiful day to get the word what it was for but.
10:45 pm
these are the stories of men who can't imagine life without fashion without a sense of style without things that might be seen as weakness in this masculine world but they still demonstrate incredible strength of spirit to live as they choose. to call them to let's have a group of us of use. force for. the pandemic no certainly no borders that is blind to nationalities. has emerged we call them with the we don't look like seen the whole world needs to be. judged. commentary crisis
10:46 pm
what is this don't want to times we can do better we should be. everyone is contributing to each of our own way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges created the response has been much so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together . is a hugely pivotal day for the families in their fight for justice for 2 reasons the 1st one the court house and the rare move ordered that they play should no take action uncomplete the report that was promised to all of these families a 2nd issue is listening pre-sent the move the court has asked for the place to provide off a day of absence compelling and setting out why they have not given any notes or
10:47 pm
records as to why this decision was taken the reality is this decision has been made clear by the court is as irrational but only awful tame that justice was no longer delayed to the follies of going on and i just was done and the police completed the support without any endless litigation. almost 4 years since we started this case and. i have watched family members from doug and pos way on those other family members better at the going on sirius passed away. for the families their spin on emotional torture a sick a lot logical torture. and it's near tame that. george hamilton relays that enough is enough on the day of the danas sure are you see days are over to have a proper place in the house to be a furnace and justice thank you. letter. sent
10:48 pm
follow we've identified says people who are 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 caution. damage in what was a state systemic policy of collusion now as far as the family is a concern and they have the right to truth and justice some want apology and acknowledgement others want day in court will support whatever they choose. well it's amazing how the truth comes out is george bernard shaw who 50 that said it
10:49 pm
comes like go down to the door. and it has happened from time to time. some people have or are not conscious has taken them and they have revealed different material and a few years of can by course of this i've 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 have been. going to church at the authorities today and they had to care for information about the media you do you fear for collusion but what in comparison to the sure bunch of collusion only on solved it's not all that it's not very great. when they get. on shushed and a justice at the only just a style up got nothing. just out of
10:50 pm
a cup now. expose them. for what they did. so action made on ahead tell. the tale this plus 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 gave the go ahead. on basically the arctic change without pain. doing a great job bodies ought. don't be getting caught and drop and also into problems. i suppose what still needs to be don't mistake get an acknowledgment of what
10:51 pm
actually happened to 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 various state who are involved in the most killings they were involved with loyalist paramilitaries. her own murder i suppose my abiding hope would be that we can tell that story and that we can honor those who lost their lives through the collision of acts of members of the security force. me having the white clothes of filling stations and a few lonely street lamps among fields you climb the hills towards newton how moved past the fuse forest beneath the stars. along that road
