Ms Gr?inne Teggart:

That will be the main remedy available to families. The concern is that domestic remedies have to be exhausted. A family or multiple families, depending on the nature of the challenge taken, would have to go through the High Court, the Court of Appeal, the Supreme Court and eventually the European Court of Human Rights. As with other legacy cases, the process through the courts takes years, which Mr. Finucane only knows too well. However, the Irish Government could launch an interstate case, which is not without precedent. We have seen this in respect of torture in the hooded men case. Going direct to the European court would be an obvious appeal.
