Press Release
07 January 2008 --
It was revealed at Belfast Coroner's Court today that MI5 will play a key role
in deciding whether or not anonymity will be granted to 14 police officers to
give evidence at the Inquest into the death of Patrick Pearse Jordan in April
2008.
The Jordan family have criticised the applications for anonymity at the Inquest
which has been delayed on several occasions. In May 2001, in an application by
Mr Jordan's father to the European Court of Human Rights, the Court ruled that
there had been a breach of Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
Fearghal Shiels of Madden & Finucane, Solicitors said today:
"The Jordan family are disappointed that in the current political climate,
seventeen police and military witnesses will seek anonymity when giving their
evidence to the Inquest. Those witnesses, like all other witnesses at the
Inquest, should be required to give their evidence openly and transparently in
court under their own names."
