Inquiry into Finucane killing cannot be forced, says Kenny

THE British government cannot be forced into launching a full inquiry into the 1989 killing of solicitor Pat Finucane, Enda Kenny has said.

But the Taoiseach pledged to continue pressing the matter with British counterpart, David Cameron, saying it was the Dáil’s unanimous wish that there be such a probe.

He was speaking after Mr Finucane’s widow reacted with anger after Mr Cameron had proposed only a review of the case by a senior British lawyer.
