There needs to be full cooperation on issues related to women&#8217;s equality  and human rights.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cInstead of abdicating its responsibilities, the Irish Government should  reinstate funding and supports for the victims of the conflict. The  withdrawal of this essential assistance threatens the very existence of  organisations such as the Justice for the Forgotten Group, who are  campaigning on behalf of the victims of the 1974 Dublin and Monaghan  bomb outrages .<\/p>\n<p> \u201cClearly the Irish Government is failing to meet its obligations under  the Good Friday Agreement and like their British counterparts, they are  paying lip service to UN Security Resolution 1234.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cThe Taoiseach and his fellow Ministers are failing to properly resource  victims\u2019 groups. It is not enough to adopt resolutions at UN level and  then do nothing. Victims and their families want to see genuine evidence  of real commitment and resources being put in place to help Irish  citizens who suffered during the conflict and who are seeking the truth  about their loved ones.\u201d<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Government challenged on failures to meet UN and GFA commitments Speaking after a presentation last Thursday from the Hannah\u2019s House organisation to the Oireachtas Good Friday Agreement Implementation Committee, Deputy Se\u00e1n Crowe said the Irish and British Governments must meet their obligations and implement UN Security Resolution 1325 with regard women and conflict.
