The Committee will also be aware of the difficulties facing the ICRIR in obtaining information from the Irish authorities. In July, this Government acknowledged that the lack of information-sharing arrangements was impacting a number of commission investigations. That means that families who asked for investigations were being held back by the absence of Irish co-operation. However, the Irish Government have had the bare-faced cheek to bring an international case against the United Kingdom while such serious questions remain about their own record; after 40 years of hiding terrorists, colluding and cover ups, this House is asked to put our trust in them.
