Having been part of the cover-up, on the eve on an inquiry report, Belfast Trust now say Muckamore was a systems failure on many levels.
No. It wasn't a systems failure. Humans were failed by humans in the most inhumane way.
My thoughts are with the families affected in advance of publication.

So many people are appalled by the deeply insensitive decision of Sinn Fein to hold their political rally in Lisburn on the very evening of the anniversary of this terrible IRA attack that took the lives of 6 young men.
Not only on the day of the Anniversary, but just round the corner from the where the memorial and service was held to the 6 young men, murdered in one of the most terrible attacks of the troubles.
The young men were participating in the Lisburn Fun Run and half Marathon evening and while in their mini bus they were blown up in an IRA attack that shocked and appalled.
We will always remember those young men. We will never allow what happened in the past to be rewritten or forgotten.
DUP MLA @PhillipBrett21 defends his party tabling a petition of concern which blocked a proposal to change the age of criminal responsibility.
