The Justice Minister says the family of Pat Finucane is entitled to know the full truth has come out about his killing.

The Irish government is to continue pushing for a full public inquiry even though David Cameron rejected the idea yesterday.

A report carried out by barrister Desmond da Silva found that employees of the British State and State agents played a key role in his murder.

Mr. Finucane represented IRA hunger strikers and was killed in front of his family by UDA/UFF gunmen at his home in February 1989.

Relatives wanted a full independent inquiry but the British Prime Minister David Cameron appointed the leading lawyer to review the case.

Mr. Cameron has previously accepted that collusion took place between the RUC and the loyalist killers and apologised again today to the Finucane family.

But he said yesterday he disagreed with the family of Pat Finucane for a full and public inquiry into his murder.

"I respectfully disagree with them that a public inquiry would produce a fuller picture of what happened and what went wrong" he said.

'Questions need to be answered'

Speaking in response to the publication of the report yesterday Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams said "I want to commend the family of Pat Finucane for their courage and diligence in pursuing this case".

"The de Silva review into the killing of Pat Finucane in February 1989 concludes that there was collusion by British state agencies...David Cameron today sought to use the review as a pretext for denying the family a public inquiry - a commitment that was made by the British government at Weston Park in 2001".

"This is not acceptable to the family or to Sinn Féin and it should not be acceptable to the government here" he added.

Minister Alan Shatter expects the Taoiseach to meet with the Finucane family next week.

He says there is a deal in place with the British government on issues relating to The Troubles which saw the establishment of the Smithwick Tribunal here.

Speaking to Breakfast here on Newstalk Mr. Shatter called on the British government to keep their side of the agreement.
