Hide AdThe families have met many government ministers over the years about the murders.
"You just get fed up hearing the same old thing over and over again - 'oh, they will be brought to justice'. But nothing comes out of it."
The families did get an Historical Enquiries Team report into the attack.
"But it was useless. I only read a quarter of it and I was disgusted with it."

Hide AdThe report repeatedly blamed the company who employed the men, in relation to security measures, she said.
Several years ago the Police Ombudsman was willing to look into the police investigation, she said, but said it was unable to due to a lack of finance.
She is aware of the names of three suspects that have circulated.
"The sad thing is we are probably walking up the town and meeting some of the perpetrators."

Hide AdVictims campaigner Kenny Donaldson of South East Fermanagh Foundation added: "The actual truth is much uglier – those murdered were murdered because of sectarian and ethnic hatred, the intent from the Provisional IRA was to strike fear and further breed division within the community at that time.
“Eight families were left distraught as the lives of their cherished loved ones were stolen away, many of whom were the main breadwinner within their respective family and others – the survivors – were left physically and mentally scarred, with traumatic lived experiences that can never be unseen.”
