"A contentious case Jim"
Settled and apologised for but still unpunished.
I adopt the same attitude towards punishment of the guilty as did the South Africans under Mandela
Punishment would fill the jails with both Republicans, Loyalists, soldiers and policemen - all of whom had a part in the slaughter.
Then we would have to go back as far as 1922 and start trying and punishing those who were responsible of the whole ***** mess in the first place - not to mention the intervening period of anti-catholic rioting, unjust governance, inflammatory sectarian marches......
You could spend the next couple of decades listing those who could be deemed possibly responsible - on all sides - before you could even think about instigating, trying and punishing them.
You would need to go back at least to the first violence in the trouble, caused by a loyalist act of terror.
