DUBLIN top legal official in Northern Ireland declared Wednesday that police and other state funded investigators should stop trying to solve killings committed before the British territory 1998 peace agreement, arguing they are wasteful, undermine peacemaking goals and increasingly prove to be futile.
Attorney General John Larkin surprise suggestion reignited a long running, bitter debate over how to promote truth and justice in a land where most of the 3,700 killings from Northern Ireland four decade conflict have remained unsolved.
Larkin, who advises the Catholic Protestant government forged by the Good Friday agreement of 1998, said all police and state funded investigations into killings committed before that landmark peace pact should end.
Larkin said politicians and governments had already undermined the ability of police to bring prosecutions in many cases by making it illegal to collect DNA evidence from paramilitary weapons that were voluntarily surrendered, or from unmarked gravesites of people killed and secretly buried by the Irish Republican Army.
And he noted that, even in the event of successful prosecution, the Good Friday deal meant those convicted of IRA and other politically motivated crimes committed before 1998 would enjoy rapid parole, crippling the potential for meaningful punishment.
Larkin said very few paramilitary figures had been convicted of pre 1998 crimes over the past 15 years. competent criminal lawyer will tell you the prospects of conviction diminish, perhaps exponentially, with each passing year, he said.
strikes me that the time has come to think about putting a line, set at Good Friday 1998, with respect to prosecutions, inquests and other inquiries, he said.
His views drew criticism from politicians on both sides.
