Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I am aware that, over the coming days, the Finucane family and British Government will want to consider this judgment in full and in detail, as will the Government here. Our position is that an independent public inquiry under the terms of the Inquiries Act, allowing for the subpoena of witnesses and the discoverability of documents, should now be held. That political commitment was given by former Prime Minister David Cameron at Weston Park in 2001 and it should be honoured. The UK Supreme Court decision today is significant in finding that the de Silva review did not honour that commitment. The only way it can be honoured is through a full public inquiry under the Inquiries Act. The Irish Government will call for that. I will press my counterpart, Prime Minister May, to honour the commitment made by her predecessor. The Tánaiste and other Ministers will also take it up.
