The IRSP fully support the calls from the O’Hara and Devine families for an Independent Republican Inquiry as outlined in their recent statement. Just like the two families, “We cannot understand why any republican would have anything to fear from such an inquiry, or why they would not support it.”
Furthermore we totally refute claims by SF’s Martina Anderson that by doing so is both shameful and dishonourable. We are disgusted by her inflammatory language which may have contributed to creating the climate for the attack on Patsy O’Hara’s memorial plaque.
Such arrogant claims and use of inflammatory language will not deter nor deflect the IRSP from fulfilling their responsibilities and
supporting and representing the wishes of the two families.
