The Dublin Government love to talk about truth, accountability and legacy. They even have a case before the European Court of Justice. However, let us have the full truth: the explosives that devastated towns across Northern Ireland did not simply appear; large quantities of commercial explosives that were…
Thank you, Minister. You mentioned the central index with regard to accessing health records. That is certainly welcome, and it is making progress. However, we have heard at the Committee that, with some of the trusts, the condition that the records are being kept in means that they are being exposed to the elements.…

I heard that nonsense…

For years, findings of that nature by the Police Ombudsman have been used to demonise and discredit the good name of a proud force that lost 319 officers to terrorists. Let us be clear: it is a scandal that should…
