Police Ombudsman has agreed to pull the report into the Mc Gurks Bar bombing
Statement from some of the families, British Irish Rights Watch and the Pat Finucane Centre08 July 2010
The families of some of those killed in the McGurk’s Bar Bomb, 4 December 1971, supported by British Irish RIGHTS WATCH and The Pat Finucane Centre are extremely disappointed by the actions of the Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland, whose behaviour, with regard to his report into the bombing, has compounded the grief and trauma already experienced by the families. There are serious concerns both at the treatment of the families by the Ombudsman and the contents of the report itself. Despite only having 24 hours to examine the report, there are some errors which are so glaring, they must be highlighted.
