Tributes to judge who sought truth for victims of Troubles

TRIBUTES were yesterday paid to a former judge who was remembered for trying to seek the truth for victims of the Troubles.

Mr Justice Henry Barron was critical of the British and Irish governments and security forces in several reports he wrote on atrocities during the ’70s.

The 81-year-old passed away after a short illness at St Vincent’s University Hospital in Dublin on Thursday evening.
