Speaking in the House of Lords on 26 February 2025

Debate

Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act 2023 (Remedial) Order 2024

Contribution

I welcome that Sir Declan Morgan, who is in charge of the ICRIR, has declared that there is no balance between terrorists and the security forces. However, the statistics show that attention is biased towards the forces of law and order. Any legacy policy that rewrites the definition of justice and fails to truly define the victim will make reconciliation much more difficult.
