IN JULY this year, Secretary of State for Northern Ireland Brandon Lewis, addressing MPs in the Commons, confirmed the British government’s intention to press ahead with the introduction of a statute of limitations to end all prosecutions related to the Troubles in Northern Ireland before 1998.
The urgency to stop all prosecutions reached its peak when two former British soldiers were due to stand trial for shootings that occurred in Derry on Bloody Sunday in 1972.
One was charged with one count of murder and five of attempted murder and another faced prosecution for the murder of Daniel Hegarty, aged 15, and the wounding of Christopher Hegarty.
