A victims campaigner, who lost his wife and father-in-law in the Shankill bombing in 1993, is to be one of the new human rights commissioners in Northern Ireland.
Alan McBride will be one of eight new members of the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission who will take up their positions from September.
Since the bombing, Mr McBride has established the Wave Trauma Centre in Belfast, which works with survivors of the Troubles.
Chief commissioner Monica McWilliams will be replaced by Prof Michael O’Flaherty, co-director of Nottingham University’s human rights law centre.
