Canadian judge Peter Cory has recommended that public inquiries be carried out into a number of controversial killings in the North, it has been reported.
The killings include those of Belfast solicitor Mr Pat Finucane, Portadown solicitor Ms Rosemary Nelson, loyalist leader Billy Wright and Portadown man Mr Robert Hamill.
According to the BBC, Judge Cory is understood to have asked Dublin to hold an inquiry into the murders of two senior RUC officers, Mr Harry Breen and Mr Bob Buchanan
The Government has received two reports on these killings and the British government, four, following Judge Cory's investigation into eight murders in six controversial cases involving alleged collusion between the security forces and paramilitary organisations.
The contents of the documents, submitted in October to both governments after 18 months of investigations, were due to be published today. However, it is believed the British government wants the publication delayed.
