Benn Urges Closer Cooperation on Troubles Era Crimes

Northern Ireland Secretary Hilary Benn meets with Irish officials to push for closer information sharing on Troubles-era crimes. The UK and Ireland agreed last year to overhaul the Legacy Act, scrapping a controversial immunity clause and setting up new structures. Families of victims seek access to Irish-held records to uncover the truth, with key cases like the Guildford pub bombings and Omagh bombing inquiry still pending. Both sides aim to strengthen their partnership and expedite answers for those seeking justice.
