Northern Secretary Shaun Woodward is considering whether or not to send a man convicted in connection with the Greysteel massacre back to jail.
Torrens Knight was part of a UDA gang that burst into a pub during a Halloween party in October 1993 and sprayed gunfire at customers.
Eight people were killed in the attack.
Knight served seven years in prison before being released under the terms of the Good Friday Agreement in 2000.
However, Mr Woodward is now considering whether to revoke his early-release licence after he was convicted yesterday of attacking two sisters in a bar in Coleraine last year.
Knight is on bail awaiting sentencing for the offence.
