Well said LoX,but we have to remember that protestants suffered the same hardships that their Catholic neighbours did and that the Civil Rights movement was made up off protestants too.

Why I mention this is to illustrate that at that time 1960-70 the men off violence was convincing the ordinary man and women with united Ireland aspirations that killing was the way to do it.

Sooner or later the Civil Rights Movement if it had been allowed to continue would have brought about change with out the armalite or bomb.

Of course we know that idiots on both sides on Bloody Sunday put an end to that and who paid, the ordinary people. I think it is time the IRA told the truth about that day, we know how the Para's let us down and their commanders above that and then the original inquiry.

I think the inquiry costs should have been given to the Bloody Sunday victims families along with a heartfelt apology instead off solicitors and barristers.

Now we have the ridicules proposal from Eames and Bradley to pay £12000 to the family of every one who was killed.
