Victims' Commission Should Resign
06 June 2012
Statement by TUV leader and North Antrim MLA Jim Allister:
“The appointment of Eibhin Glenholmes - who was wanted in Great Britain on nine warrants covering offenses including murder and attempted murder – to the Victims’ Forum is monstrous.
“It amounts to a calculated insult to the innocent victims and underscores the contempt with which they are treated.
“Glenholmes is clearly associated with the victim makers and remains unrepentant about their actions. Indeed, in a recent interview when asked if the IRA’s terrorist campaign was wrong she replied, “Absolutely not”.
“How can those who suffered because of the bombs and bullets of the IRA have confidence in a body which contains such a person?
“The Victims Commission has lost all credibility with innocent victims following this appointment and should resign immediately.
“Glenholmes also needs to come clean on her own past.”
