Finucane inquiry delay 'unacceptable': Sinn Féin

The British government was today accused of trying to delay an inquiry into security force collusion in the murder of Belfast solicitor Pat Finucane by loyalists.

As Northern Ireland Secretary Paul Murphy prepared to release a report by retired Canadian judge Peter Cory on four controversial killings during the Troubles, Sinn Féin’s Gerry Kelly said there would be considerable anger if the British government delayed an inquiry into the 1989 murder.
