A report into allegations of police and Garda collusion in six controversial murder cases will be presented to the Irish and British governments tomorrow.
The retired Canadian Judge Peter Cory has been allegations of collusion in the killings of solicitors Pat Finucane and Rosemary Nelson in a gun attack in February 1989 and a car bomb in March 1999 respectively.
He has also has probed allegations that a police unit looked on as a Portadown Catholic, Robert Hamill, was kicked to death in the town centre in May 1997 by a loyalist mob.
The fourth case examined by the judge examined the circumstances surrounding the shooting of Loyalist Volunteer Force leader Billy Wright in the Maze Prison during Christmas 1997.
Allegations of collusion between An Garda Siochana and the IRA in the murders of Lord Justice Henry Gibson and Lady Cecily Gibson in April 1987 and RUC inspectors Bob Buchanan and Harry Breen in March 1989 have also been explored by the judge.
Sinn Féin Representative on the issue Mr Conor Murphy called for the report to be published and its recommendations acted upon.
"In the past reports into collusion by Stalker, Sampson and Stevens have been suppressed by the very British securocrats whose activities they were supposed to be investigating. This cannot be allowed to happen to Judge Cory's report", he said.
"Already there is overwhelming evidence in a number of the cases that Judge Cory has investigated that the British State were directly involved in the murder of citizens through the manipulation, control and direction of unionist death squads. In line with the wishes of these families independent inquiries should now take place without any further delay."
