Acknowledged
Insufficient clarity on ICIR's operations, sequencing, and relationship with the Legacy Commission.
Conclusion
Although proposals to establish the ICIR have been broadly welcomed, notable concerns remain. Alongside criticism of the proposal for the ICIR to operate on a pilot basis, there is insufficient clarity regarding the sequencing of its work and that of the Legacy Commission, and the processes for both protecting and verifying information.
