Government bailout will not solve NI's financial problems: Chris Heaton Harris

One of many Troubles atrocities, the Remembrance Day bombing in 1987 resulted in the loss of 11 lives. The key element of the new Legacy Bill is that in order for a victim/survivor to obtain information regarding an attack they will be required to acquiesce in the process of providing conditional immunity/amnesty to the individuals who were responsible. For many, this is unacceptable, writes Kenny Donaldson
