Lord Caine (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 21 May 2025

Debate

Independent Commission for Reconciliation and Information Recovery

Contribution

When the Tánaiste said this week that the UK and Irish Governments are working strenuously to find a “landing zone” on legacy issues, can she confirm that this will include full Irish co-operation with the legacy commission on information recovery?
