As far as I am aware this position is simply Larkins position and he has not consulted at victim, ministerial or Governmental level before going public with his thoughts.
Well according to the Attorney General there are a lot of restrictions so it would not be worth pursuing prosecutions .

What about a Truth and Reconciliation Commission similar to the one in South Africa ,maybe that is the way forward
