The British government is being accused of showing “contempt and disregard” for victims of the Troubles.
The Foreign Affairs Minister says the Irish Government oppose any unilateral action on legacy issues connected to the Troubles, after reports that an amnesty will be granted to British soldiers.
The Times of London and Daily Telegraph suggest that Queen Elizabeth will announce plans for legislation to make army members and those in loyalist and paramilitary groups exempt from prosecution.
It would create a statue of limitations for any alleged offences committed before the signing of the Good Friday Agreement in 1998.
