£32m for review of 2,000 unsolved NI murders

A special unit being set up within the Police Service of Northern Ireland to review nearly 2,000 unsolved murders over 30 years is expected to take up to six years to carry out its task, it was revealed tonight.

Northern Ireland Secretary Paul Murphy announced he was committing between £30m (€43.4m) and £32m (€46.3m) for the task but admitted he did not know if it was going to be enough.
