BBC World Service - HARDtalk, Campaigning Widow of Pat Finucane - Geraldine Finucane

The family of a Catholic lawyer in Northern Ireland are still waiting for a full inquiry

The killing of Pat Finucane - a Catholic lawyer - exposed collusion between British security services and paramilitaries - the Finucane family still want a full public inquiry.

Healing a society traumatised by sectarian violence is hard - anyone doubting it should take a look at Northern Ireland today. The de facto war between the IRA and the British state is over, but a legacy of bitterness remains. Hardtalk speaks to Geraldine Finucane, whose husband Pat - a Catholic lawyer - was murdered 25 years ago. The killing exposed collusion between the British security services and Protestant paramilitaries - the Finucane family still wants a full public inquiry. But for the greater good of Northern Ireland, is it time to move on?
