ICRIR response to the joint governmental framework

Published:

A spokesperson said:

“The ICRIR is led by the law and ready for reform. The governments’ joint framework provides clarity.

“It promises new powers, enhanced independence, and improved capabilities. This is important, timely and welcome.

“At the heart of legacy issues, are the victims, survivors, and families of the Troubles/Conflict.

“Well over 200 people from all sections of society have already come to the Commission leading to over 90 live investigations connected with over 170 deaths.

“Those dedicated investigations continue to grow daily. There will be no pause in this vital work.

“Our doors remain open for all new Requesting Individuals.

“In helping to build confidence in the reformed legacy arrangements, the Commission will maintain its dedicated service to victims, survivors, and families, its efforts to seek the unvarnished truth, and its focus on the promotion of reconciliation.”
