Sinn Féin MLA Carál Ní Chuilín haș welcomed the announcement of new inquests for victims of the McGurk’s Bar bombing and has once again called for the Legacy Act to be repealed.
The North Belfast MLA said:
“The McGurk’s Bar families have been fighting for over fifty years with determination to find out the truth of what happened to their loved ones.
“I welcome the Attorney General’s announcement and want to commend the families for all their efforts in reaching this point in their campaign for truth.
“In just a matter of days the British government’s shameful Legacy Act will shut the door on families accessing truth and justice with the shameful Legacy Act.
“This cruel and cynical law should be repealed and the legacy mechanisms agreed at Stormont House implemented in a human rights complaint manner.”
