At a recent meeting of the Committee for the Executive Office, Sir Declan Morgan suggested that his commission's investigations are potentially more independent than those of a public inquiry, given that the Secretary of State sets the terms of reference for a public inquiry and, indeed, can amend them if he feels…

It is a shameful indictment of our society that we all anticipate the next news story where a women…
