Speaker 1
This is the Northern Ireland Affairs Select Committee session into the Peter May review of the Independent Commission for Reconciliation and Information Recovery. So, we have panel one. We have Peter May with us, the independent reviewer of corporate effectiveness and cultural health review of the ICRIR, joining us virtually. So, thank you very much, Peter, for joining us today. Can you provide us with an overview of your review's findings and the issues requiring the most urgent attention?
21:05 - 21:06
Order.
21:43 - 21:44
Thank you, Chair.

Speaker 2
Thank you chair, thank you for the invitation today and for your question. Maybe helpful to the committee if I just set one or two things out by way of background for the review. So firstly, I was jointly commissioned by the Northern Ireland Office and the Independent Commission to undertake this review, and I was asked to complete it by the end of February 2026. You'll have seen the terms of reference make it clear that it's not a section 36 review, so it has a more specific remit. I didn't, for example, look at investigative practice, that would be outside of my skill set in any case.
