Blair urged to name victims’ commissioner

BRITISH Prime Minister Tony Blair is under renewed pressure to appoint a victims’ commissioner in the North following his public apology to the Conlon and Maguire families.

North Belfast MP Nigel Dodds asked on a day when the British Government was in the mood for making apologies, what is it doing about the long overdue creation of a victims' commissioner for the North.

Mr Blair issued the public apology to the Conlon and Maguire families for their wrongful imprisonment for the IRA bomb attacks in Guildford and Woolwich in 1974.
