Monaghan bombing campaigner critical of Troubles amnesty

The UK Government announced an amnesty yesterday.

A campaigner for victims of the Monaghan bombing says the proposal by the British Government to stop all pre-1998 prosecutions arising from the conflict in the North, is worse than she expected.
