Another sop over ‘Bloody Sunday’ but no justice for IRA victims
05 July 2012
Statement by TUV Leader Jim Allister:-
“After 40 years, in a patent political sop – maybe part of the payoff and choreography of ‘the handshake’- the security forces are to be investigated for murder, while self confessed IRA Commander McGuinness in Londonderry continues to escape any proper police investigation.
“Not only did McGuinness refuse to tell all he knew to Saville but untroubled by the police he is allowed to keep his dark secrets buried.
“With so many unsolved IRA murders – into which there are no fresh police inquiries, nor any judicial inquiry – the families of these victims are entitled to resent this further special treatment for the insatiable Bloody Sunday agenda, which itself will cost many further millions. There clearly is a hierarchy of victims.
“If the events of January 1971 are to be investigated then so too must the IRA murder of two police officers just days before, the role of a machine gun therein and McGuinness attachment to such a weapon, according to evidence given to Saville.”
