Northern Ireland minister Steve Baker has appealed to the Irish Government to meet with the head of a new commission created under the UK government’s controversial Legacy Act.
The Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act received royal assent last month despite widespread opposition from political parties, victims’ organisations in Northern Ireland and the Irish Government.
