<p>It is clear that the Irish Government has legitimate questions to answer regarding
its record of dealing with legacy matters in its own jurisdiction. The coroner in
the Kingsmill Inquest found, “the border between Northern Ireland and Ireland was
“exploited by terrorists” and allowed for “… planning, training, organisation, weapons
storage and retreat at a safe physical and legal distance from the authorities that
would be faced with investigating terrorist acts in Northern Ireland”.</p><p> </p><p>It
is clear that, for many families, effective information recovery will also require
the cooperation of the Irish Government and its agencies. The Government continues
to encourage the Irish Government to cooperate with the new Independent Commission
for Reconciliation & Information Recovery to help facilitate the provision of
information to families who request it, including most recently at the British-Irish
Intergovernmental Conference on 29 April 2024.<strong><br> <br> </strong></p>
