I want to ensure the Bill helps as many people impacted by the Troubles as possible get the answers they have long sought, and commands the confidence of those affected - including those who served bravely to protect law and order."
Quite a few politicians from Northern Ireland have already raised with me, 'are you coming with a cheque book?', and actually I am coming with a bit of a checklist of things I want to get sorted and done.
I am committed to working collaboratively with ministers in Dublin to foster joint cooperation, uphold the Good Friday Agreement and deliver on the commitments on legacy that both governments have made under the Joint Framework," he said.
Huge thanks to An Garda Síochána for their quick, decisive action in Co. Monaghan.
