Human rights barrister to be Northern Ireland Attorney General
A human rights barrister is to be invited to be Northern Ireland’s attorney general.
John Larkin QC will be offered the position as part of a political deal devolving policing and justice powers to the province.
He would be the first Northern Irish attorney general since Basil Kelly’s term ended after direct rule from London was imposed 25 years ago.
The west Belfast barrister has an extensive general legal practice but specialises in civil law including judicial reviews.
