The legislation has been opposed by all Northern Ireland political parties as well as victims’ organisations.
The relationship between the UK and Ireland is “strong enough to deal with” a dispute over new legacy laws, the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland has said.
In addition, a judge at Belfast High Court ruled that the provision for conditional immunity was not compliant with the European Convention on Human Rights . The UK Government is appealing against that finding. Speaking to reporters at the BIIGC, he said: “Equally, I hope that they understand our concerns and our sense of how we got to this point.
He said: “We intend to have further meetings with victims’ groups in terms of where they see the situation now.“As I meet more and more groups, there are younger generations coming through. So this isn’t going away, so to speak. However, the under-secretary of state for Northern Ireland said Ireland’s interstate case was “premature and unnecessary”.
