Frustrations at Troubles stalemate

Northern Ireland’s police chief has delivered a stark message on stalled proposals to deal with the Troubles legacy. George Hamilton said that he was growing increasingly frustrated that, three years on from a political deal on a series of mechanisms to address unresolved conflict cases, the plan is not “one further inch forward”.

He said if local parties could not overcome an impasse blocking implementation of the Stormont House Agreement, then London needed to step up and deliver.
