THE body set up to deal with the legacy of the Troubles in Northern Ireland is to publish its report later this month.
The Consultative Group on the Past, co-chaired by Denis Bradley and Lord Eames, is to publish its recommendations on January 28.
The group - who have met numerous groups and individuals over the space of the past18 months - are expected to recommend the setting-up of a five-year commission to re-investigate all murders associated with the conflict.
The News Letter revealed last year that this option was being considered.
It was reported within this fixed time period, terrorists will be granted immunity as part of a truth process.
However, indications are the Eames-Bradley Consultative Group would stop short of proposing a full amnesty for terrorists.
The panel also includes former Gaelic football star Jarlath Burns, former Ireland rugby international Willie John McBride, academic James Mackey, Elaine Moore who works with prisoners, Belfast-based Presbyterian minister Rev. Dr. Lesley Carroll and David Porter, Director of the International Centre for Reconciliation.
