"the last vestige of an excuse for failing to hold a public inquiry into the murder of Pat Finucane had now been stripped away"

I suppose we shouldn't hold our breaths.

Hold your breath

Well, looks like they found him, could you have held your breath?

All credit must go to those who campaigned for this case to be pursued. The RUC/PNSI were dragging their heels.
The campaign to have a full public inquiry will have to be pushed all the way if anything is to come of it.
It would be no harm either if there was a full inquiry into the activities of the police in this statelet, including into the Garda Heavy Gang.
But I certainly won't hold my breath on that one either.
