I propose to take Questions Nos. 301 and 303 together.
Following agreement reached between the Irish and British Governments at Weston Park in 2001, Mr. Justice Peter Cory, a retired Canadian Supreme Court judge, was appointed to undertake a thorough investigation of allegations of collusion between British and Irish security forces and paramilitaries in six cases. Two of the cases involve allegations of collusion by the Garda Síochána, namely, the killings of RUC Chief Superintendent Harry Breen and RUC Superintendent Bob Buchanan in 1989 and the killings of Northern Ireland Lord Justice Gibson and Lady Gibson in 1987. The other four cases relate to allegations of collusion by British security forces. The aim of the process was to determine whether there is sufficient evidence of collusion between State security forces and those responsible for the killings in each case to warrant a public inquiry.
The two Governments publicly committed themselves to publishing Mr. Justice Cory's final reports. They did not commit to publishing the documents on which they are based, subject only to any necessary adjustments, to ensure that the privacy and right to life of individuals is protected and that the relevant Government's obligations to ensuring justice and protecting national security are maintained. As part of the Weston Park agreement, the two Governments committed themselves, in the event that a public inquiry is recommended in any case, that the relevant Government will implement that recommendation.
