Anger from republicans over a potential amnesty for security force members who served in the Troubles

BBC Radio Ulster - The Nolan Show, Anger from republicans over a potential amnesty for security force members who served in the Troubles

A potential amnesty for security force members who served in the Troubles?

Anger from Republicans over a potential amnesty for security force members who served in the Troubles.

A potential amnesty from prosecution for security force members who served in the Northern Ireland Troubles is to be floated by the government. The statute of limitations proposal has been inserted into a public consultation document on potential mechanisms for dealing with the toxic legacy of the Troubles. The move has angered Sinn Fein, which has accused the government of an "act of bad faith". But Ulster Unionist MLA Doug Beattie has said that a statute of limitations cannot and should not lead to a general amnesty that would include terrorists. UUP MLA Doug Beattie, Sinn Fein MLA Gerry Kelly, Alliance MLA Stephen Farry and Professor of Law and Transitional Justice at Queen's University Kieran McEvoy discuss.
