PPS must now act in Hamill case – O’Dowd

March 12, 2010

Sinn Féin MLA John O’ Dowd has said the recommendation in the Interim report of the Robert Hamill inquiry for the Public Prosecution Service to reconsider a decision not to prosecute a retired RUC officer must be acted on without further delay by the PPS.

Mr O' Dowd said:

"The Hamill family have been tireless in their campaign for justice, however time and time again they were let down by the very authorities who were supposed to be tasked with delivering justice.

"The Public Prosecution Service must now act without further delay and ensure transparent justice is delivered for Robert Hamill and his family.” ENDS
