First reports from new Northern Ireland legacy body expected in autumn The first reports from a new body set up by government to probe cases from the Northern Ireland Troubles are expected to be published this autumn.
In a statement, ICRIR chief executive Louise Warde Hunter said the new year “marks the next important chapter of the commission’s work with the first of its reports likely to be published in the autumn”.
While the ICRIR does not appear to have won the confidence of many victims’ groups, it said that as of December 9 2024, some 120 people have come forward and started an investigation with the commission in the hope of finding the answers they seek.
The Independent Commission for Reconciliation and Information Recovery (ICRIR) said it is currently probing 24 cases and has also accepted a request for an investigation from the Secretary of State.
The ICRIR was created by the Conservative government’s controversial Legacy Act which halted scores of civil cases and inquests into Troubles deaths.
