Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act 2023 (Remedial) Order 2024Contribution
By the way, I am not suggesting that all you need to do is to let some academics rummage through documents. I am saying that there is a role aside from the unnecessarily performative and combative style of lawyers. Lots of other things had to be done on Bloody Sunday: examining the velocities of the weapons, which were the British Army’s, or possibility not the British Army’s, and so on. That all required extra work, which was expensive. My point is: was it £200 million-worth of extra work at those prices? This is the defence of the ICRIR.
