The court has ruled that the government's refusal to hold an inquiry is unlawful, but Secretary of State Hilary Benn confirmed on Wednesday the government was planning to challenge the ruling in the Supreme Court, the UK's highest court.

She referred to her 87-year-old mother Bridie's appeal to Benn last month not to make her go to London to campaign for an inquiry.

"My mother made an impassioned plea to Hilary Benn, not to take her to London, that's fallen on deaf ears, that's the route we now have to go," Siobhan Brown added.

On Wednesday, Benn confirmed he was now seeking leave to appeal the judgement to the Supreme Court, the UK's highest court.

Ms Brown told BBC's Good Morning Ulster Programme that the timing of Benn's announcement and the lack of information given to them beforehand had upset the family.
