“This is another example of why the British Government wants to slam the door shut on truth and justice for families with its outrageous and cynical Legacy Act. I would urge the Irish Government to challenge this shameful Legacy Act by taking an interstate case. This is a denial of human rights and a breach of international law, and the government must protect the convention rights of Irish citizens.
