Britain Wants To Bury Hopes of Legacy Justice

July 21, 2021 By Martin Galvin

Congressman Brendan Boyle, Irish Consul General Ciaran Madden, and representatives of Irish and British political parties, joined with Irish Americans across the country, to hear victims’ relatives and survivors appeal for help to stop Britain from taking away their rights to legacy justice. Jacqueline Butler, daughter of a Springhill Massacre victim, Steven Travers a survivor of the Miami Showband Massacre, and Martin Mallon, whose aunt Roseann Mallon was one of 17 collusion murder victims killed with the same weapons, each described how the new British legacy plans would remove their legal path to truth. The moving appeal, made in a webinar broadcast hosted by the Ancient Order of Hibernians, on Saturday, July 17th, was answered with pledges by participants to help make Britain keep the promise of legacy justice.
