A conference examining new laws to deal with the legacy of the Northern Ireland Troubles has been postponed following plans for a public protest at the event.

Former Lord Chief Justice Declan Morgan, who is the head of a new body tasked with examining hundreds of unresolved Troubles deaths, had been due to be the main speaker at the Law Society event in Belfast this Friday.
