SF Reiterates Calls For Pat Finucane Inquiry
Sinn Féin MLA Linda Dillon has reiterated a call for a public inquiry into the murder of human rights lawyer Pat Finucane.
She made the fresh call after US Congressman Richie Neal wrote to the British Prime Minister voicing support for the repeal of the shameful Legacy Act and the Finucane family's continued pursuit of truth and justice.
Dillon, SF spokesperson on victims and survivors, said: "I want to echo the words of Congressman Richie Neal who has once again called for an independent public inquiry into the murder of Pat Finucane.
"Geraldine Finucane and her family have fought for over 35 years with dignity and determination in an effort to establish the full truth of what happened to Pat; a husband, a father, a human rights lawyer.
"The British government must move beyond the years of gaslighting and insulting victims. It is time for them to finally offer families, including Pat Finucane's, the opportunity of truth and justice.
"There must be no more delays, blockages or stoppages.
"Now is the time to establish a public inquiry and to deliver full truth and justice to Geraldine Finucane and her children."
