The government is to challenge a court ruling that found its refusal to hold a public inquiry into the killing of a GAA official was unlawful.

The Court of Appeal in Belfast had given Northern Ireland Secretary Hilary Benn four weeks to reconsider a decision not to hold an inquiry into the murder of Sean Brown in 1997 by the Loyalist Volunteer Force (LVF).

Benn has confirmed he is now seeking leave to appeal the judgement to the Supreme Court, the UK’s highest court.

He has also asked the Court of Appeal for more time to fully consider the judgement.
