'...It's a tremendous price to pay for nothing - because there's nothing been done... I can see a terrible lot of things going on here in Ireland and they're just not getting through. For three years people have been shot, maimed, blown up - everything. It's just taken as an everyday occurrence...' (Belfast bomb victim who lost both legs.)
