A planned new Troubles truth recovery body will not name those who bombed and killed. So what will it do?

A truth recovery body for the Troubles won't name those who carried out killings. Victims campaigners are angry after the Belfast Telegraph revealed the Independent Commission on Information Retrieval will not name and shame murderers. The Commission is set to be established as part of the latest political attempt to deal with the past.

But some victims say if they aren't going to be told who murdered their loved ones then what is the point?

Journalist Brian Rowan says the new process was 'never going to be a naming-and-shaming body'

Michael Gallagher's son Aidan was killed in the Omagh bomb. He says the truth recovery process 'does more for the perpetrator than the victim'

Paul O'Connor from the Pat Finucane Centre says you can't name people without evidence to bring them to court

Victims Campaigner Kenny Donaldson says the planned truth process 'subverts the possibility of justice'
