flag UK calls for Irish info sharing on Troubles cases, including Omagh bombing, to support investigations and victims.

flag Northern Ireland Secretary Hilary Benn is urging the Irish Government to share information for legacy investigations into the Troubles during a visit to Dublin, emphasizing its importance for cases like the Omagh bombing. flag He met with Irish officials to advance cooperation under a joint UK-Ireland framework launched in September 2025, which reversed controversial immunity provisions from the previous Legacy Act. flag While Ireland committed to full cooperation, including establishing a legacy unit within An Garda Siochana, the Independent Commission on Reconciliation and Information Recovery (ICRIR) currently lacks formal information-sharing arrangements with Irish authorities. flag ICRIR is leading over 100 active investigations into unsolved Troubles-era crimes, including major attacks on military personnel and civilians. flag Benn stressed the importance of continued collaboration to support victims and uphold the Good Friday Agreement.
