Three Irish American Congressmen have responded after UK Parliament moved t he contentious Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Bill closer to law in a vote on Wednesday, September 6. The bill, which would end new Troubles-era investigations and inquests and would offer conditional immunity to those accused of killings, has been widely opposed in both the UK and Ireland , as well as by Irish American politicians and groups since it was introduced in May 2022 . On Wednesday, MPs in the UK House of Commons voted to reject amendments to the bill that would have altered the conditions required for a perpetrator to receive immunity for prosecution and included consent from victims' families, prompting a response from US politicians.
