​Writing in Monday’s News Letter (Letter: We will name British state murderers in the Dail if Legacy Bill becomes law), a Republic of Ireland TD, Peadar Toibin, outlined the actions his party and others are taking in the Dail to bring the UK Government to account over legacy and alleged collusion.

He speaks of a special Dail Commission of Investigation (collusion of British state forces) now set up to investigate the British state and further states that he will name those involved in the Dail.

For years this newspaper, SEFF, IVU as well as many others have been calling for the Republic of Ireland to be brought to account over its palpable collusion with PSF/PIRA cross-border terrorists in its slaughter of innocents along the border and even further afield.

The evidence of this state collusion is overwhelming and both the Northern Ireland Office and Downing Street know it.

Well wittingly or unwittingly, TD Toibin has handed a template to our Westminster MPs to demand that Westminster sets up a ‘House of Commons Commission of Investigation (collusion of Republic of Ireland in PSF/campaign of terror)’ .

Any of our MPs can call for this. Perhaps Dr Stephen Farry, Alliance Party Northern Ireland MP, who is very well thought of by Simon Hoare, Conservative MP and chair of the NI committee, could use this fact to lead on this.

The Republic of Ireland must be held to account over its overt and covert support for the evil cross-border terrorists of PSF/PIRA who used its sovereign territory to kill and maim with impunity.

TD Toibin's letter and template is the way to do it and our MPs owe it to the victims and survivors of IRA terror to do so.
