âEntirely innocentâ
Taoiseach Micheál Martin said he was never in any doubt about the Ballymurphy killings âthat these innocents were killed without any justification and that they were entirely innocentâ.
He said in the Dáil that there remained âenormous personal grief and sense of loss that is renewed when intensive media attention returns to a case like thisâ.
âItâs been a very harrowing experience for relatives and there have been many false dawns in terms of trying to get closure and trying to get justice.â
Mr Martin also stressed that the Government was âvery clear that the legacy of violence remains a deep wound and must be dealt withâ.

Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney has said the coroner s statement on the Ballymurphy killings has cast a tremendous new light on one of the darkest pages of the history of the conflict .
Mr Coveney was reacting to the conclusion of the inquest that found that all of the ten people who were shot and killed in Ballymurphy in 1971 were entirely innocent and that their deaths were unjustified.
The minister said that the statement will come as an immense relief and vindication for the families who have maintained for decades that their loved ones were innocent and their killings unjustified.

Irish people looking to travel abroad could be free to jet off later this summer.
The Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney said that Ireland is looking to become part of the European Commission’s green passport scheme to make travelling in the EU more accessible to those with a vaccine.
A QR code on travellers phones will have up-to-date information on your Covid status including if you have been vaccinated.
And Irish holidaymakers who have been vaccinated could be allowed to travel from as soon as next month.
