Lord Elliott critical of Pat Finucane public inquiry while 'hundreds and thousands' of other victims are ignored
- Equality is needed in dealing with the aftermath of Northern Ireland's Troubles, Parliament has been told as critics expressed frustration at a public inquiry into the murder of Belfast solicitor Pat Finucane but not the thousands of other victims.
The article discusses Lord Elliott's criticism of the decision to hold a public inquiry into the murder of Pat Finucane, a solicitor killed by loyalist paramilitaries in 1989. Lord Elliott, a former Lord Chief Justice of Northern Ireland, argues that while the inquiry into Finucane's death is justified, it highlights a disparity in how victims of the Troubles are treated. He points out that while some high-profile cases receive extensive attention and resources, many other victims, numbering in the hundreds of thousands, are largely ignored. This selective focus, he suggests, could lead to perceptions of inequality in the justice system, where only certain cases are deemed worthy of thorough investigation. The article also touches on the broader implications of such inquiries, including the potential for them to reopen old wounds and the ongoing debate about how best to address the legacy of the Troubles.
