Meanwhile, the Taoiseach says an amnesty for crimes during the Troubles would be challenged in the courts for many years.

It comes ahead of Micheál Martin’s meeting with victims’ families in Dublin tomorrow.

They’re campaigning against the British government’s plan to ban all prosecutions relating to the Northern conflict.

The Taoiseach says he’s strongly against the proposal:
