'PM should apologise'-Campbell

Speaking after the publication of the Police Ombudsman's report into the 1972 massacre which killed nine people, including an eight year-old child, the MP says the government need to "take action" on the reports findings

"The government have to do something now and David Cameron as Prime Minister should apologise to the families about the part the state played.The Catholic Church should open up their files and let them know what they know.

"The families now need the support of the wider community and the government now need to take action to implement some of the things that have flowed from the report.

The MLA emphasised: "That is what needs to happen now. The worst thing that could happen is after the families suffering the renewed pain for the report to be shelved and nothing happens."

Yesterday the Ombudsman's findings confirmed that a Catholic priest, Father James Chesney, was involved in the July bombings. Mr Campbell says the findings have raised more questions which need answered for those who lost loved ones in the bombings.

"They need to get some answers for questions in order to bring some closure and a chance to move on. Some families have moved on, some are finding it incredibly difficult to. They need answers and an apology."

"It was a terrible indictment of society in '72 but the crucial thing now in 2010 is that this report is not allowed to gather dust."
