Geraldine Finucane

Pat Finucane, a Catholic lawyer, was murdered in Northern Ireland in 1989. Today, his widow Geraldine is still campaigning for a full public inquiry. But is it time to move on?

Healing a society traumatised by sectarian violence is hard - anyone doubting it should take a look at Northern Ireland today.

HARDtalk speaks to Geraldine Finucane, whose husband Pat, a Catholic lawyer, was murdered 25 years ago. The killing exposed collusion between the British security services and Protestant paramilitaries - the Finucane family still wants a full public inquiry. But for the greater good of Northern Ireland, is it time to move on?
