Motion: The Irish Government’s Failure to Cooperate on Legacy Cases

Proposed:

That this Assembly condemns the Irish Government’s failure to cooperate with the Independent Commission for Reconciliation and Information Recovery or to establish separate investigative processes addressing the legacy of the past; notes the pain and trauma this has caused to the victims of terrorism; believes the Northern Ireland Troubles Bill has lost the confidence of victims, survivors and veterans; expresses concern that the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland has retained these proposals under political pressure from Dublin, despite the Irish Government failing to drop its interstate case or deliver on any of the promises contained in the 2025 Joint Framework on the Legacy of the Troubles; further believes that former soldiers and other members of the security forces who acted with professionalism and within the law deserve robust protections against vexatious and repeated investigations; welcomes the UK Supreme Court judgement in the Dillon case, which found that the local courts wrongly and inappropriately used the Windsor Framework to strike down provisions of the Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act; calls on the UK Government to immediately withdraw the Northern Ireland Troubles Bill and instead develop fresh proposals that command the confidence of victims and veterans; and further calls on the Irish Government to lift their decades-long embargo on providing answers to the victims of terrorism in Northern Ireland.
