Distributed to Congress by Irish National Caucus
“On April 9, 2010, our Briefing consisted of a report by the Irish News of Belfast on ‘CATHOLIC BISHOPS OF NORTHERN IRELAND EXPRESS CONCERN ABOUT BRITISH LEGACY PLANS.’ (http://www.irishnationalcaucus.org/catholic-bishops-of-northern-ireland-express-concern-about-british-legacy-plans/).
We now include the Bishops’ statement in full—http://www.irishnationalcaucus.org/catholic-bishops-in-northern-ireland-criticize-uk-governments-approach-to-legacy-of-the-past/
We ask Members of Congress to regard this statement as an essential reference in their understanding of this key issue in the ongoing Irish Peace Process. This statement, along with the statement by Raymond McCord’s attorney, Mr. Paul Farrell, Esq. (http://www.irishnationalcaucus.org/attorney-paul-farrell-on-the-raymond-mccord-case/ ) are now essential documents on ‘Legacy cases,’ past contentious killings, especially by British government forces and agents.
We urge Members of Congress to use these documents as building blocks in
their pursuit of justice in Northern Ireland.”—Fr. Sean McManus
