Hain Accuses Officials of Withholding Troubles Death Information Before Legacy Act Comes Into Effect
• Lord Hain claims state bodies are "running down the clock" towards May 1st when Legacy Act comes into effect
• Says there has been "abject failure" by state officials to release information on killings despite coroner's orders
• New law will replace Troubles inquests with ICRIR investigations into deaths
• Perpetrators who cooperate with ICRIR will be offered immunity from prosecution
• Lord Hain asks if families denied inquests will "have to make do with a vastly inferior process on the cheap?"
