The British government is to face a legal challenge over its failure to launch a public inquiry into security force collusion in the murder of solicitor Pat Finucane, it has emerged today.

The family of Belfast solicitor Pat Finucane is holding talks with the Rev Ian Paisley today over proposals for an inquiry into one of the most controversial murders of the Troubles.

Murdered Belfast solicitor Pat Finucane's family today pledged to take their fight to Dublin after accusing Northern Ireland Secretary Peter Hain of resisting demands for major changes to the inquiry into his killing.
