This week we met in Dublin with Paul Johnston, Glencree Centre for Peace & Reconciliation, Leo Varadkar, @NealeRichmond, @CooperationIrl and Mary and Martin McAleese. We discussed UK-Ireland and North-South relations, reform of the Legacy Act, the impact of paramilitarism in NI and PEACEPLUS funding.
At this afternoon's Liaison Committee session with the Prime Minister, our Chair Tonia Antoniazzi asked Keir Starmer about a public inquiry into the murder of Sean Brown.
Tomorrow, we'll continue our inquiry into the Government's new approach to addressing the legacy of the past in Northern Ireland by hearing from Police Service NI, Sir Iain Livingstone and Baroness Nuala O'Loan.

During today's evidence session, Police Service NI's Chief Constable explained how the 'attritional approach' of security agencies to information disclosure is creating a 'greenfield' for lawyers and diverting public money away from front-line policing.

It was a pleasure to host members of Westminsterโs Northern Ireland Affairs Committee on the FSB Northern Ireland stand at the Balmoral Show. Thanks to Tonia Antoniazzi and colleagues for meeting with FSB Northern Ireland Chair Alan Lowry and our policy team to listen to issues arising from the #WindsorFramework.
This week, we went to the @BalmoralShow. It was a pleasure to visit the show and hear from FSB Northern Ireland and Ulster Farmers' Union about the challenges and opportunities for small businesses and the agriculture sector in Northern Ireland.
During our visit to Northern Ireland last week, we were grateful for the chance to meet Foyle Family Justice Centre, Foyle Women's Information Network and @NIRibbon at @LarneFC to discuss their work to end violence against women and girls.
