We pressed on the president the importance of getting justice for Robert, and he said he's 100 percent behind our campaign.

We came here to tell our story. And we knew that before we came we would have the support of the senators. We hope this does produce results on the ground for this family.

You can't have peace if people are able to murder a man and get away with it just because it upsets the political apple cart to stand up to them.

We thought this case was pure intimidation; the only thing stopping us from getting the murderer brought to justice is secrecy.

As if we were 6 years old.

We've spoken out and said you can stand up and you don't have to be afraid of anybody. But it won't mean anything unless the people in the communities take that opportunity the next time the IRA comes to their door and say to them 'I'm not going to allow you to bully me'.
