The ICRIR, set up to investigate Troubles-era crimes, accepted eight of the cases for investigation.
The new body which will examine legacy cases from the Northern Ireland Troubles has had 85 enquiries about possible investigations since it became operational on 1 May.
The Labour government has pledged to retain the ICRIR, despite planning to repeal and replace the Legacy Act which created it.Sinn Féin has previously claimed the ICRIR does not have the confidence of most victims and survivors and “does not have the powers it needs to deliver truth”.In an update on its work, the ICRIR said that of the 85 enquiries from victims, survivors and families, “eight have now been accepted for investigation”.
“We recognise the seriousness of the work that we are undertaking and understand that how we do things is as important as what we do.”
