"David Davis MP in Commons this week on Legacy “The government, unfortunately, have prioritised their relationship with Dublin over their duties to their own veteran soldiers. Ireland will undoubtedly come to regret its own role in this Bill. Scrutiny of its actions during the Troubles will show that it was never the impartial party it tries to present itself as now, but instead a partisan and a criminal insurgency. "The Irish Government provided active sanctuary for IRA terrorists, and justice cannot mean relentless scrutiny for British soldiers but selective scrutiny for the Irish Government. They must accept the scrutiny of themselves that they demand of others, and we might start with an independent review of their role in the Omagh bombing, which we have heard something of today," he added. "I am afraid that this is a nation much of whose politics is hostile to Britain - we should not avoid that fact. Britain must not sacrifice its soldiers for an illusory diplomatic advantage," he said.
