Poll: Should the British Government cancel deals made with IRA 'on-the-runs' ?

The deals were made by former UK Prime Minster Tony Blair but should they be taken back?

NORTHERN IRELAND FIRST Minister Peter Robinson has called on the British Government to rescind assurances made to 187 IRA ‘on-the-run’ paramilitaries that they are no longer wanted by police.

The debate comes after the collapse of the trial of Donegal man James Downey who was suspected of the 1982 Hyde Park bomb which killed four British soldiers.
