Cowen meets with relatives of Bloody Sunday victims



A copy of the long-awaited Saville Inquiry report into Bloody Sunday.

Relatives of those killed on Bloody Sunday were meeting the Taoiseach this evening to discuss the Saville Inquiry report.

Members of the McKinney, Duddy, Nash and Young familes were to present Brian Cowen with an original copy of the Saville report which was published yesterday.

The 12-year inquiry concluded that the 14 people who died after being shot by British forces in Derry's bogside were unarmed and innocent.

Mickey McKinney, whose 27-year-old brother Roy was among those shot dead by British soliders, said this chapter of their lives has not drawn to a complete close just yet.

"I think a big part of it all has near enough closed," he said. "But we are not just there yet."

"Somebody has to be held to account for what happened on Bloody Sunday."

Earlier the British Prime Minister David Cameron, who yesterday apologised for the killings on behalf of his country , admitted he sometimes found it "painful" to work with Sinn Féin's Martin McGuinness and think about "what that man did"

However Mr Cameron added compromises were a "price worth paying'' for peace.
