Seán Crowe (Dublin South West, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

Following on from the Stormont House Agreement, the Irish and British Governments came to an agreement to establish the Independent Commission on Information Retrieval, ICIR. The ICIR agreement was signed by the Irish Minister in 2015 and laid before the Oireachtas in January 2016. The objective of the ICIR was to enable victims and survivors to seek and privately receive information about the deaths of their kin in the conflict. The independent commission will only be formally established after the necessary legislation has been enacted and the two Governments have notified each other of completion of all other domestic legal procedures required to bring the agreement into force. When will the Government complete this domestic legal procedure, and when will we see the ICIR agreement being established?
