Last week, the Taoiseach, utterly correctly, gave the support of the Government and this House to an inquiry into the murder of Pat Finucane, a lawyer murdered in Northern Ireland in the late 1980s, as did a Seanad motion, the Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement, of which I am a member, and the Alliance Party, as an absolute imperative for the rule of law. Will the Taoiseach join with me in acknowledging the anniversary this week of another lawyer murdered in Northern Ireland, Edgar Graham, a unionist lawyer and academic who was murdered on the grounds of Queen's University Belfast? It is just as important to acknowledge his death as that of any other lawyer in Northern Ireland.

It is indeed. Edgar Graham was murdered in 1983. It was a shocking murder. It happened between lectures. I think he was with Dermot Nesbitt at the time. It should be roundly condemned by all parties as a murder most foul. His family has received very little in terms of a report from the historical enquiries team, HET, investigations into his murder. It was callous, it was cruel and it was cowardly. He seems to have been singled out for his views and opinions as opposed to anything else. That is what the IRA said at the time - let this be a lesson to anybody who defends the policies of the British Government. It is a murder that deserves condemnation all around and it should be roundly condemned. Work should continue with the family by the authorities in Northern Ireland to give satisfactory replies.
