Troubles victims deserve 'truth and justice', McDonald says, in opposition to statue of limitations on Troubles killings

Sinn Fein President Mary Lou McDonald and Stormont deputy First Minister Michelle O’Neill have vowed to oppose British Government plans on legacy in NI 

Sinn Féin president Mary Lou McDonald has said there should be a “level playing pitch” for all victims as her party stepped up its opposition to British Government plans to introduce a statute of limitations on Troubles prosecutions.

Mrs McDonald and deputy First Minister Michelle O’Neill met on Tuesday with the families of five people killed by the British army in Springhill in west Belfast in 1972.
