The British government has today announced it will bring forward a package of protections for British military personnel as part of its legacy bill. This is a clear attempt to placate the British military lobby & the interests of security & intelligence agencies. The British government has reneged on its previous legacy commitments in pursuit of votes & in the process will attempt to bury the secrets of Britain’s war in Ireland at whatever cost. Victims & families who have spent decades fighting for the simple right to truth & justice for their loved ones will today have their confidence further eroded by the disgraceful actions of the British government. It is incumbent on the Taoiseach Micheál Martin & the Irish government to speak out against what is clearly a disdainful diversion from their joint legacy framework.
