The Examiner (Newry and south Armagh), 18 July 2006: Report highlights need for truth on collusion issue Newry and Mourne District Councillor Jimmy McCreesh has said the latest report from Judge Barron on bombings carried out by loyalist paramilitaries with the collusion of British crown forces highlights the need for a special summit meeting between the Taoiseach Bertie Ahern and the British Prime Minister Tony Blair exclusively on the issue of collusion. The Fews area Councillor who himself was injured in one such deadly attack in 1975 where three people were killed said: "The latest Report from Judge Barron reinforces the case that the Mid-Ulster UVF which was responsible for the fatal bombings at Dublin, Monaghan, Dundalk, Castleblayney and other attacks acted in collusion with British crown forces. "The Report again highlights the fact that the Mitchell farm at Glenanne, County Armagh, was the UVF base for attacks, that members of the RUC and UDR were members of the gang and the British crown forces at higher level were well aware of what was going on there." Councillor McCreesh stated that Judge Barron pointed out that, once again, the British authorities gave minimal co-operation to his Inquiry. "This emphasises the ned for a special summit meeting on collusion to be demanded of the British Prime Minister Tony Blair by the Taoiseach" said the Sinn Fein Councillor who concluded by saying: "The Taoiseach should press the British Prime Minister to require the British crown forces to co-operate fully with the hearings that will be held by the Oireachtas Committee considering the Barron Report, including attending the hearings in Dublin. Nothing less is acceptable."
