Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

The important point is the idea that we should, 100 years on, impose our view of what happened back then. That is the mistake that is always made in respect of history. Back then, everybody, including people in the Executive and the Army, knew that what happened was wrong. My point is the record is a historical narrative in itself that should be left as it stands because it is part of an infamous attempt to cover up what happened.
