Statement on attacks on lawyers - Troubles and Reconciliation Bill
Responding to comments made in Parliament during consideration
of the Northern Ireland (Troubles and Reconciliation) Bill yesterday, The Law
Society of Northern Ireland makes the following statement:
“The Law Society reiterates its call for attacks on lawyers
made in relation to this Bill to cease immediately. Solicitors provide vital
support to victims and survivors of the Troubles to access truth and justice
and should not come under attack for doing their jobs.”
