Judge Peter Cory has presented his recommendations in the cases of six controversial murders to the British and Irish governments.
The retired Canadian supreme court judge has finalised his reports on the murders of Lord Justice and Lady Gibson and on the murders of two senior RUC officers, Supt Bob Buchanan and Insp Harry Breen, which he has handed to the Taoiseach this evening.
His findings in relation to the murder of Mr Pat Finucane, Mrs Rosemary Nelson, Mr Robert Hamill, and Billy Wright were given to the Northern Secretary, Mr Murphy, in London this morning.
Both governments have said they will abide by the recommendations. Under terms agreed at Weston Park in August 2001, the judge has free reign to propose action in each of the cases, up to and including a full, independent and judicial inquiry as demanded by family and campaigners in the case of Mr Pat Finucane.
