Maskey calls for public inquiry on Finucane murder

Sinn Fein’s Alec Maskey has called for a full public inquiry into the murder of Belfast solicitor Pat Finucane after a leaked police report into the killing highlighted collusion between the RUC and loyalist paramilitaries.

The report by the Stevens inquiry recommends that individual police officers should face criminal charges for their role in the collusion, but Mr Maskey said this will allow those who were responsible at a political level to avoid prosecution.
