Irish foreign affairs minister Simon Coveney
THE Irish and British governments are set to oversee multi-party talks which will deal with legacy issues.
Details of the plan were revealed by Secretary of State Brandon Lewis and Irish minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney yesterday.
Earlier this year it emerged that the British government is planning to bring forward fresh legacy legislation, which some suspect may include an amnesty for British soldiers who served in the north.
The 2014 Stormont House Agreement included mechanisms for how to deal with the past but these have yet to be implemented.
