Day 173 - 16 Oct 95 - Page 26
1 A. No, not in relation to the strike.
2
3 Q. So, are you saying that the only people that visited you or
4 assisted you -- all right, hang on, one at a time. Are you
5 saying that the only people that visited you in relation to
6 the strike were Mr. Stein and Mr. Copeland?
7 A. Yes.
8
9 Q. What about other assistance or advice through, you know,
10 telephone calls or letters; or was it just those two that
11 were assisting you?
12 A. These were the only people who I sought advice from,
13 and we got -----
14
15 Q. Right.
16
17 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I probably have been told and forgotten, but
18 what was Mr. Copeland's position?
19
20 MS. STEEL: I was going to come on to that.
21
22 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, there is a statement from Mr. Copeland in
23 the same bundle, curiously enough, yellow XIII.
24
25 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Do not turn it up.
26
27 MR. RAMPTON: I am not going to say anything. I invite your
28 Lordship simply to look at it, that is all. I cannot
29 answer for the witness, anyway, if he has an idea of what
30 Mr. Copeland's position was. But it is tab 40 of yellow
31 XIII, paragraph 1 and particularly 2 perhaps gives some
32 indication.
33
34 MR. MORRIS: Sorry, what -----
35
36 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yellow XIII.
37
38 MR. MORRIS: Tab?
39
40 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Divider 40. It is one of the extra ones at
41 the back.
42
43 MR. MORRIS: We have got James Marshall there. He may have been
44 changed, because he was originally going to be a witness,
45 then he was not, and all that kind of stuff.
46
47 MR. RAMPTON: He would originally have been. He was removed
48 (inaudible). Now he is in XIII.
49
50 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Just let me read that before we go any
51 further. (Pause) Yes, I remember reading it now.
52
53 MR. MORRIS: Mr. Rampton was saying he does not mention Ireland
54 specifically.
55
56 MR. JUSTICE BELL: No. That is why I had not associated with
57 it. But it does tell me -----
58
59 MS. STEEL: It does not actually say what year.
