The Irish government continues to ask its UK counterparts to order a public inquiry into the loyalist murder of the GAA official in 1997.

Simon Harris will stress that the timeline for making the reforms to the Legacy Commission would not result in a timely outcome for Mr Brown’s widow.

Judges in Belfast have ruled that NI Secretary Hilary Benn is acting unlawfully in failing to hold a public inquiry into Mr Brown’s murder.

Northern Ireland’s First Minister said the family of the GAA official had ‘waited far too long for truth, justice and accountability’.

The GAA official was murdered in 1997 by loyalists.
