Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act 2023 (Remedial) Order 2024Contribution
For example, on 13 August 1975, under the cover of darkness, three cowardly terrorists led by Brendan McFarlane set out to murder and maim their Protestant neighbours. They arrived at a packed bar to shoot indiscriminately and plant a bomb at the entrance to ensure maximum casualties to innocent men, women and young people, the youngest fatality being a young woman of 17 years of age. Five people were murdered that day and 50 were injured. As the terrorists were escaping from the bar, they machine-gunned a group of women and children who were waiting at a taxi rank. Of course, that is the brave terrorist of the IRA.
