Jim, how long is long ago?
38 years is long, but the people of NI wanted the enquiry.
They were belatedly given it, at great expence.
Pity IRAs decided not to provide evidence.
The OIRA witness said he did so because local people wanted it.
Fair play to him.
Shame on the IRAs.

I can not agree that the aspirations of the people now should be denied them bacause of disputed events of 90 years ago.
Your message would be , accept Dublin rule or we kill you?

Back to the present, the report finds that the overwhelming majority of the soldiers did not disobey orders and shoot protesters.
Decisions were taken that hind sight shows to be mistaken, but no one was ordered or allowed to shoot protesters, and it was in clear breach of the rules of engagement.
I have acknowledged that the effect of the cover up by army, government and IRAs was disasterous.
