Rapporto Billy Wright: le reazioni

Billy Wright’s report: Reactions

Billy Wright | LVF

Ian Paisley Jr, North Antrim MP, DUP

“I think people feel short-changed and are right to feel short-changed. It was a £30m investigation into a murder that took place in confined circumstances inside Her Majesty’s prison and yet provides us with no more material substantively than we had before the investigation started. I feel we can only conclude that this is a whitewash.”

John O’Dowd, Upper Bann MLA, Sinn Fein

“The question of money, while very important, is also used as an attempt to block the truth. When I listen to Mr Paterson speaking in the House of Commons this afternoon when he said there would be no more costly inquiries, what he really means is there will be no more inquiries into the role of the British State in Ireland.”

Margaret Ritchie, SDLP Leader and South Down MP, MLA

“Given the litany of errors identified by the report many will ask that if they don’t add up to collusion then what do they add up to? We must never have any repeat of these failings and the recommendations of the inquiry must be implemented without delay.”

Tom Elliott MLA, Ulster Unionist Party Justice Spokesperson

“Today’s report may have significant implications for our prison service and in particular Maghaberry prison which is the sole high security prison in Northern Ireland. Politicians and the Minister for Justice will have to fully digest this report and reflect on its implications for current operations in Northern Ireland.”

Stephen Farry MLA, Alliance Party Justice Spokesperson

“The political, policing and security context has changed significantly over the past decade, as the nature of the prison system. Nevertheless, it is only right that the recommendations of the inquiry are properly tested. Reform of prisons is a priority for new devolved Department of Justice, and a Prison Review team, agreed as part of the Hillsborough Agreement, is currently conducting the public consultation aspect of its work.”

NIHRC Chief Commissioner Professor Monica McWilliams

“The concerns raised by the Inquiry highlight the need for radical institutional change and comprehensive reform of the Northern Ireland Prison Service.”
