What the petition asks
Given the Northern Ireland Secretary’s statement that the investigations into the killings during the ‘Troubles’ in Northern Ireland are 'disproportionately' focusing on members of the police and Army and are ‘not working’.
The government should demand the removal of Barra McGrory QC from the post of Director of Public Prosecutions in Northern Ireland due to his constant failure to remain impartial and implement fair and balanced investigation.
Why it was rejected
It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.
