‹ Order of Business Ballymurphy massacre inquiry
Summary
Senator Craughwell supports a full debate and inquiry into the Ballymurphy killings, which he characterises as an indiscriminate series of murders.
I support Senators Labhrás Ó Murchú and David Cullinane on the issue of the Ballymurphy massacre. It is no secret that I carried a weapon for two armies in my life and I never carried a weapon without an instruction booklet in my pocket which informed me as to when I could and could not open fire. From what I heard this morning, there was an indiscriminate series of assassinations, which is all I could call them, in Ballymurphy.
