Campaigning Widow of Pat Finucane - Geraldine Finucane

The killing of Pat Finucane - a Catholic lawyer - exposed collusion between British security services and paramilitaries - the Finucane family still want a full public inquiry.

But for the greater good of Northern Ireland, is it time to move on?
