    The 'guillotine' in the Troubles Legacy Act means that Troubles-related inquests that had not completed the hearing of evidence before today have been halted.

    Legacy cases in which the Public Prosecution Service (PPS) has already decided to prosecute are not affected.

    As of the time of posting, why has the PPS not yet disclosed the decisions on the remaining pre-Good Friday Agreement cases it was to make before today?

    Two weeks have passed since the Legacy Act's deadline on prosecutorial decisions took effect and the PPS still hasn't announced its decisions on the remainder of the files it received before 1 May. What is the reason for the PPS's silence?
