		Sylvia Hermon, Ulster Unionist MP for North Down, made the first intervention to raise the point that Geraldine Finucane, Pat¹s widow, had not co-operated with the Stevens Inquiry.
		For anyone interested in the Stevens Inquiry and the role of the Force Research Unit, MI5 and RUC Special Branch in death squads, by far the more intriguing question is the degree to which Sylvia Hermon¹s husband has co-operated with any of the three Stevens investigations to date.
		John Hermon, who was RUC Chief Constable (CC) from 1980 until the spring of 1989, would have a wealth of information regarding the dirty war that would surely interest any investigation.

		For republicans, Jack Hermon will be remembered for his role as Chief Constable at a time of shoot-to-kill policies and collusion with unionist paramilitaries but it didn’t make Gerry or Martin any less republican to behave towards his wife, Sylvia, in the manner they did.
		Republicans have a humanity, derived to a large extent from the suffering our community has experienced - often at the hands of the RUC - but also because republicanism is about an objective, an ideal, a better way of life.
		Maybe if David Trimble, like Sylvia Hermon, had been a bit more gracious in his dealings with republicans and hadn’t tried to mimic his unionist rivals he would have achieved much more and we might all be in a very different place today.
