Mr. NEAL. Mr. Speaker, today, in Belfast in the north of Ireland, there is a murder inquiry that is underway. For those of us who have had a longstanding interest in this issue, this is an opportunity to shine light on what happened to the solicitor Patrick Finucane.

a full inquiry into the murder of Patrick Finucane. Decades have gone by while we await that judgment and that scrutiny of what really happened on that fateful day.
centuries, of antagonism between two traditions, but getting to the bottom of what happened to Patrick Finucane should be part of what we do here in America to scrutinize what we had done to successfully bring about the Good Friday Agreement.
