IRA carried out "thorough investigation" into McConville death

The following is the text of a statement issued by Oglaigh na hÉireann on Saturday, 8 July.

"Following a public request from the family of Jean McConville, the IRA carried out a thorough investigation into all the circumstances surrounding her death.

"That investigation confirmed that Jean McConville was working as an informer for the British army. The conclusion of this investigation was reported to Michael McConville. The IRA accepts he rejects this conclusion.

"The IRA regrets the suffering of all the families whose loved ones were killed and buried by the IRA."

"Rinne Óglaigh na hÉireann fiosrúchán cruinn i ndiaidh iarrtais poiblí ó chlann Jean McConville.

"Fiosraíodh na cúrsaí uilig bainte lena bás.

"Dheimhnigh an fiosrúchán go raibh Jean McConville ag obair mar brathadóir l'Aram na Breataine. Insíodh cinneadh an fiosrúcháin seo do Michael McConville.

"Glacann Óglaigh na hÉireann leis go ndiultaíonn sé don chinneadh seo.

"Is oth le Óglaigh na hÉireann fulaingt iomlán na dteaghlach uilig a raibh gaolta s'acú maraithe agus curtha fá thalamh ag Óglaigh na hÉireann."
