Geraldine Finucane emphasized the significance of a public inquiry into her husband's murder, stating, "If a public inquiry into the murder of Pat Finucane can finally publicly examine all of the collusion that plagued our society for so many years, then there is hope that the real process of healing can begin." This highlights the family's hope for resolution and acknowledgment of the collusion involved in the case.
Mrs. Finucane voiced her family's demand for justice, stating, "It is high time it was properly investigated, publicly examined, and finally resolved. I believe that my family deserve this after so many years. Pat Finucane deserves this after so many years. Society as a whole deserves this, after so many years. After 35 years of cover-ups, it is time for truth." This reveals the prolonged struggle for acknowledgment and justice.
Reflecting on the past investigations, Mrs. Finucane expressed deep skepticism, saying, "We had no confidence that police investigations would ever bring those truly responsible to justice. We were not satisfied with private, limited reviews from which we were excluded." This conveys the family's disillusionment with prior attempts at seeking justice.
Mrs. Finucane concluded by emphasizing the necessity of an independent inquiry: "An independent, statutory public inquiry is and was the only way to bring the whole truth behind the murder of Pat Finucane into the light of day." This statement underscores the family's belief in the need for transparency and accountability.
