Question:

470 Mr. Gregory asked the Minister for Defence if he has examined the relevant documents related to the Niemba ambush; his views on whether Private Browne was not killed in the course of the ambush but at another location, days later; if he will take steps to put the record straight; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Defence (Mr. O’Dea)

I undertook during Priority Questions last Thursday, 3 November 2005 that I will have the relevant records in military archives examined to establish the factual position in this regard. I expect that this process will be completed shortly. I will communicate further with the Deputy as soon as possible.
