Mr. Daniel Holder:

A similar issue applies to the Office of the Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland. Most recently we have had 450 outstanding complaints. It is unlike the Stormont House Agreement, which allowed inquests to continue as a separate process. Under the Stormont House Agreement there would have been a transitional period between the Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland and an independent investigative mechanism with proper teeth. This process guillotines Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland investigations. There are 450 outstanding complaints within that system
