Goggins Says 'Hunt Goes On'
Policing and Justice Minister Paul Goggins has said that the PSNI remain resolute and determined to bring those who carried out the terrorist murders in Antrim and Craigavon to justice.
He said that today's High Court ruling was "of course in relation to a technical issue around detention" and commented "the law has taken its course" on this specific aspect of the legal process.
"The attacks in Northern Ireland are the subject of strong and ongoing police investigations.
"Two people have already been charged with the murder of PC Stephen Carroll (pictured) and the work by police to investigate this murder continues," he said.
"Nonetheless, the police investigation into the murder of the soldiers at Massareene Barracks and the attempted murders of two other soldiers and two civilians are ongoing.
"The determination of the police to carry out their investigation thoroughly, comprehensively and with the support of the whole the community continues," said the NIO Minister.
