The Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Bill is set to return to the House of Lords on Tuesday
All of the main political parties in Northern Ireland, the Irish Government and victims’ groups are opposed to the Bill.These include Majella O’Hare, who was shot dead by a British soldier in County Armagh when she was 12 years old; Tom Oliver, a 43-year-old farmer who was murdered by the IRA; and the three Reavey brothers – aged between 17 and 24 – who were killed by the Loyalist Glenanne Gang.
“Majella’s life mattered and accountability for her killing and the many other crimes committed during the conflict also matters.“This is a final call to them: do not let us down – drop the Troubles Bill.” “The projection on Parliament shows the faces of some of the victims whose families are being bitterly let down by the government.
Meanwhile, a number of families of Troubles victims will travel to Westminster to witness the Bill pass its final stages.
