Widow's anger at Finucane review

The widow of murdered Northern Ireland solicitor Pat Finucane said today she felt “angry” and “insulted” after David Cameron told her he was proposing a QC-led review of her husband’s case.

After meeting the British Prime Minister in Number 10, Geraldine Finucane told reporters the whole family was “very disappointed” and would not support the initiative.

The Finucanes want a full independent inquiry into the loyalist shooting in 1989. There have been persistent claims of security force collusion with the killers.

Speaking in Downing Street, Mrs Finucane said: “I am so angry and so insulted by being brought to Downing Street today to hear what the Prime Minister had on offer.

“He is offering a review. He wants a QC to read the papers in my husband’s case and that is how he expects to reach the truth.

“All of us are very upset and very disappointed.”

She added that she was “so angry with the Prime Minister that I actually called a halt to the meeting”.
