A survivor of the 1994 Loughinisland massacre, who now lives in Cork, says innocent victims of The Troubles are disappointed with the Irish government - over its failure to challenge Britain on plans to close down legacy investigations.
Colm Smyth says proposals by the British government to end legacy investigations mean victims and survivors will get no compensation or justice.
Six men were shot dead when UVF gunmen burst in to a pub at Loughinisland in County Down as they watched the Ireland versus Italy World Cup match in June 1994.
Colm - who now lives Midleton - says his co-survivors and others feel let down by the Irish government who, he says, don't care:
"It's very disappointing, whether it's Fine Gael, or Fianna Fáil, or a mixture of both - time and time again, they play political jigsaws with the lives of victims. You know, they want to be seen to be saying something but they do nothing and the pieces are just left fall as they were and victims are not supported".
