It looks like Dermot Ahern was a busy boy yesterday. As well as the speech blogged by Pete, the Newsletter reports Irish Appeal To Ira Over ‘disappeared’.”Speaking after an hour-long meeting with a 15-member Wave delegation in Dundalk yesterday, Mr Ahern said: “I acknowledge the pain and suffering these families have endured since their loved ones were taken from them.
“I can assure them that I, the Justice Minister and the Government as a whole will do everything we can to ensure they get closure on their grief.“
