Update on Independent Commission for Reconciliation and Information Recovery Review

Written ministerial statementMade by Hilary BennSecretary of State for Northern IrelandNorthern Ireland OfficeHCWS15

I made a written ministerial statement on 15th April about Peter May’s Review into the corporate effectiveness and cultural health of the Independent Commission for Reconciliation and Information Recovery (ICRIR). In that statement, I committed to placing the findings of the Review in the Library of the House, along with our response and joint action plan. I can confirm that, with the Review having been shared in the first instance with ICRIR staff, these documents were placed in the Library of the House on 11th May 2026.
