The calm before the storm: Sunrise over Lough Foyle this Friday morning. #stormdarragh

The British Secretary of State took the first step in repealing part of the controversial NI Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act 2023 on Wednesday. Mr. Benn said the new order would remove the provisions in the Legacy Act that would provide conditional immunity from prosecution to British soldiers, police officers, republicans and loyalists accused of committing atrocities during the conflict. The Secretary of State also indicated he was removing provisions that ended civil cases and inquests into conflict-related deaths. However, he insisted that the ICRIR – an information recovery body set up under the legislation – would not be scrapped.
