A public inquiry is currently the only way to deliver a human rights-compliant investigation into the murder of GAA official Sean Brown, the Tanaiste has insisted.
Simon Harris reiterated his support for the Brown family on a visit to Belfast on Monday.
Northern Ireland Secretary Hilary Benn has applied for a Supreme Court appeal on judicial rulings in Belfast that compel him to establish a public inquiry into the 1997 murder by loyalist paramilitaries.
No-one has ever been convicted of his killing.
Preliminary inquest proceedings last year heard that in excess of 25 people had been linked by intelligence to the murder, including several state agents.
It had also been alleged in court that surveillance of a suspect in the murder was temporarily stopped on the evening of the killing, only to resume again the following morning.
