Labour hopes to heal wounds created by the Conservatives’ Legacy Act, which cancelled inquests and prosecutions
New measures aimed at healing the wounds on all sides of the Northern Ireland Troubles have been unveiled by the British and Irish governments.
They will replace the controversial Legacy Act brought in by the Conservatives that cancelled inquests and prosecutions.
Diplomats say it is the result of a year-long “return to partnership” of both governments in conjunction with the Northern Ireland government.
Inquests that had started but were frozen by the Legacy Act will resume.
