She added that while the Irish government has said it will help “they’re not compelled to do so and, for me, for Alan, that’s not something I wanted”.

“I wanted it to be completely robust and completely transparent for him so we know absolutely everything.”

Taoiseach (Irish prime minister) Micheál Martin said on Tuesday that he has made it “very clear” that the Irish government must cooperate fully with the inquiry.

Tánaiste (deputy Irish prime minister) Simon Harris said the Irish government will “not be found wanting”.

He said that the “cross-border nature of the assistance, to an inquiry established under UK law, means that it takes some work to get the details of the mechanisms of cooperation right, but we are actively engaging in this work”.

On Tuesday, the inquiry opened with its chairman Lord Turnbull stating he was “shocked at the level of grief” imposed on bereaved families and survivors.

The names of those murdered in the attack were read out and a minute’s silence observed at the commencement session.
