Taoiseach Micheál Martin has spoken to UK prime minister Boris Johnson, asking for the British government to hold a full public inquiry into the murder of Pat Finucane.

Mr Martin met with members of the Finucane family earlier this week, and restated his and his Government’s support for the holding of such an inquiry, given the collusion of British forces in Mr Finucane’s death 31 years ago.
