Quinn & Ors, Inquest into the Deaths Of (Ruling on Claim for Public Interest Immunity in Relation to the Kinnego Report) [2024] NICoroner 25 (11 April 2024)
The redacted portions of the Kinnego Report are highly relevant to the inquests but disclosure would cause a real risk of serious harm to national security.
