Pat Finucane was an Irish lawyer known for representing Republicans and members of the Irish Republican Army. He was assassinated at his home – shot 14 times – on 1st February 1989 by the Ulster Defence Association, which had colluded with the British Government intelligence service, MI5. The Conservative Leader and Prime Minister, David Cameron, made a formal apology in 2011, and despite the various formal enquiries that ensued, one of which was requested by Amnesty International, no one has ever been prosecuted.
