This was a reopened inquest into the deaths of four IRA men shot by the Army in 1992, just after they had attacked a police barracks using a Russian machine-gun mounted on a lorry. I could go into the whole detail of it, but I will not. Basically, soldiers could hear the gunfire from the attack on the police station and see the tracers. The intelligence received was that the IRA was going to gather at the car park before an attack. In fact, they terminated there. Two who were killed had dismounted from the lorry with their rifles, while three escaped across the border—and were not extradited, of course, because the Irish Government, which we never seem to take into account, did their utmost to stop extraditing anyone back to the United Kingdom.
