The Bill became closer to law following a key vote in Parliament

Irish American politicians have spoken out against the controversial Legacy Bill, with the latest progress through the UK Parliament described as "shameful".

"This bill, as passed, stops any new inquests from being opened into crimes committed during the Troubles, and allows conditional amnesty for individuals accused of committing killings while denying victims and their families the justice and accountability they deserve," Keating said in a statement. "I will continue to do everything in my power to ensure that the people of Northern Ireland achieve the justice and accountability necessary to ensure long-term peace and stability in the region."
