A dedicated Garda unit's been established to deal with Troubles related investigations.
The Minister for Justice has announced the setting up of the Garda Troubles Legacy Liaison Unit.
Jim O' Callaghan says it's a significant milestone in the implementation of the Joint Framework agreed with the British government.
He also says it will provide a readily accessible point of contact for survivors and victim's families in seeking answers to their questions as they relate to Gardai.
It will also act as a single point of contact for co-operation with UK authorities on Troubles related cases.
