At no time in Stevens 2 or the original Stevens 1 inquiry, did I investigate the murder of Patrick Finucane. However, those inquiries - through the so-called double agent - were linked to the murder of Patrick Finucane.
English investigator John Stevens contradicting official account of the handling of the Pat Finucane case. Irish News, Thursday 29 April.
It seems astonishing that the murder of a high-profile lawyer, who had regularly spoken of the threats he had received from RUC officers, should not have been at the heart of the initial collusion investigation: It has been abundantly clear for some time that the arguments for a full, independent public inquiry into the murder of Mr Finucane are overwhelming: Public concern over the case has reached such a level that no other course of action can be acceptable.
Editorial in last week's Irish News.
Bits of them were all over the road. We found a child's head in the garden and limbs in the mud.
Eyewitness account of NATO bombing of Serbia. Irish Times, Thursday 29 April.
NATO does not target civilians, but we cannot exclude harm to civilian property during our air operations over Yugoslavia.
NATO spokesperson last week.
An irresponsible action on NATO's part. I condemn without any reservation the ethnic cleansing which (Yugoslav President Slododan) Milosevic is engaged in. But I condemn NATO for doing precisely what Milosevic is doing. They are destroying the country's infrastructure, the bridges, and killing innocent civilians - we can't approve that.
South African President Nelson Mandela on the bombings.
It was also an open secret that Pat Finucane was inextricably linked to the IRA and committed to its objectives. No collusion was required to draw him to the attention of loyalist murderers.
Outrageous comments from Unionist MP Ken Maginnis on Pat Finucane's murder.
The mob outside the house realised that I had made a complaint to the police and started to shout abuse at us, saying, `If you don't like the fucking flags then get out'.
Joe Leonard's account of being intimidated out of his Portadown home last week by a loyalist mob as the RUC observed, saying there was nothing they could do. The Examiner, Friday 30 April.
If we join, I think it is inevitable that you will have B-52 bombers landing in Shannon and eventually we would become members of NATO.
Green Party TD John Gormley on Ireland's proposed membership of the `Partnership for Peace'.
A pattern can be seen in the manner in which the RUC approach republicans to inform them that their security has been compromised. It seems that these so-called policemen take great pleasure in telling republicans that their personal details are in the hands of loyalist killers without giving any specifics.
Sinn Féin Assembly member Dara O'Hagan, calling on Mo Mowlam to instruct Ronnie Flanagan to stop refusing to supply details of threats to people's lives.
