HC Deb 16 March 1972 vol 833 cc156-7W
Rev. Ian Paisley

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has made, or intends to make to the Government of the Irish Republic concerning the Irish Republican Army terrorists who came from the Irish Republic to Middletown, County Armagh, on Wednesday, 8th March, murdered an Ulster Defence Regiment member, Mr. Joseph Jardine, and then returned to the Irish Republic.

Mr. Anthony Royle

We have drawn this incident to the attention of the Irish authorities, pointed out that this is yet another example of apparently unchecked activity by the Irish Republican Army on which we have frequently made representations, and emphasised the need for early investigations.
