"there were IRA snipers in the vicinity - now admitted to be a lie."
Stop editing out what I said.
"For decades the excuse given for the slaughter of 13 unarmed civil rights demonstrators, (plus 14 wounded), by British troops was that some of the demonstrators were armed and that there were IRA snipers in the vicinity - now admitted to be a lie."
It was a lie that the presence of snipers was the reason for the massacre - that's what I said and that's what I meant - and that's what the Saville report said.
