British Prime Minister David Cameron says a report into the loyalist murder of Belfast solicitor Pat Finucane has found shocking levels of state collusion in the murder.
The report was carried out by barrister Desmond da Silva and found that employees of the British State and State agents played a key role in his murder.
Pat Finucane represented IRA hunger strikers and was killed in front of his family.
The Catholic father of 3 was shot 14 times in front of his wife and children as they sat at the dinner table by UDA/UFF gunmen at his home in the north of the city in February 1989.
PM apologises again
His family have always said security forces worked with Loyalist paramilitaries to kill him.
Relatives wanted a full independent inquiry but the British Prime Minister David Cameron appointed the leading lawyer to review the case.
Mr. Cameron has previously accepted that collusion took place between the RUC and the loyalist killers and apologised again today to the Finucane family.
But he says he "disagrees" with the family of Pat Finucane for a full and public inquiry into his murder.
"I respectfully disagree with them that a public inquiry would produce a fuller picture of what happened and what went wrong" he said.
Speaking in response to the publication of the report today Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams said "I want to commend the family of Pat Finucane for their courage and diligence in pursuing this case".
"The de Silva review into the killing of Pat Finucane in February 1989 concludes that there was collusion by British state agencies..David Cameron today sought to use the review as a pretext for denying the family a public inquiry - a commitment that was made by the British government at Weston Park in 2001".
"This is not acceptable to the family or to Sinn Féin and it should not be acceptable to the government here" he added.
Speaking in the house of Commons Mr. Cameron told MPs the whole country is "entitled to know the extent and nature of the collusion" in Mr. Finucane's killing.
And he has been highly critical of the level of state collusion.
