Failure to order a public inquiry into the murder of Pat Finucane will have profound implications for confidence in the rule of the law, Sinn Fein has warned.

The UK Government will tell the Finucane family on Monday how it will respond to a court judgment that found it had failed to hold an “effective investigation” into the Belfast lawyer’s death at the hands of loyalist paramilitaries.
