Billy Wright Inquiry Completed
The Billy Wright Inquiry Report has been completed and will be submitted to the North's Secretary of State on 13 September.
The Report will be presented to the Westminster Parliament by the Secretary of State the next day and conclusion of the formal statement the Report will become available via the Inquiry's website on www.billywrightinquiry.org and that advance sight of the Report will be allowed by the family of Billy Wright and those parties who were represented throughout the Inquiry's hearings.
Meanwhile, it emerged today that a new book by University of Ulster researchers has questioned whether the North's media's focus on the peace process came at the expense of engagement with wider political issues.
The Propaganda of Peace, written by Dr Greg McLaughlin and Dr Steve Baker, from the Centre for Media Research at Coleraine, examines how much influence the media and culture have had in shaping the peace process from the Good Friday Agreement in 1998 to the present. Although specific to Northern Ireland, the book's key arguments resonate internationally at a time when President Obama tries to kick-start the Middle East peace process and Spain responds to the recently announced ETA ceasefire.
