Londonderry Sinn Féin to table Bloody Sunday motion at Council

Sinn Fin Councillor Kevin Campbell has submitted a motion to be discussed at Derry City Council, today, Tuesday, June 29, welcoming the publication of the Saville report and commending the dignity and courage of the families of the Bloody Sunday dead and wounded in their campaign for truth and justice.

Councillor Campbell said: "I feel that it's very important that Derry City Council formally welcomes the publication of the Saville report on the 15th June and commends the dignity and courage of the families of the Bloody Sunday dead and wounded in their campaign for truth and justice.

"They have campaigned for 38 years for the truth and for justice. They have campaigned for the British government to end their policy of cover-up and concealment.

Councillor Campbell went on to say: "The British government in acknowledging the wrong done in Derry should also acknowledge the wrong done in Ballymurphy, Springhill, and elsewhere.

"The publication of Saville should also now spur the Irish Government on to press the British government to comply with the unanimous all-party motion adopted by the Dil nearly two years ago which called on the British government to release to an international investigation all facts it possesses on the Dublin and Monaghan bombings of 17 May 1974."
