good news that they are opening a new inquest. but listening to the interviews I have some concern that they are going after the truth about the police handling of events, rather than the truth about who was behind the bombs. and then there is the IRA attitude to it iraI doubt they are worried, we are too busy giving them immunity whilst pursuing the soldiers involved on bloody sunday. If anyone is held accountable after the inquest it'll no doubt be the police, not the murderers.

I remember it well. I was on night duty in the Queen Elizabeth Hospital that night. Although we didn't get many casualties, we did get a number of patients transferred up from the General Hospital who took most of the injured.
The coroner has said she believes that the police knew attacks were on the way: this contradicts the IRA version you quote above.
44 years ago - like the Manics said - "This is my truth, tell me yours". Such a senseless waste of life.
RIP all the victims

Sorry but I fail to see what this will achieve. It's quite clear that the victims were unlawfully killed that is obvious. An inquest determines who died, when they died and how they died. RIP the victims .....but why an inquest?? The police had received a tip off but it came too late for effective evacuation didn't it? The job of investigating police action after the event to secure dodgy convictions isn't the coroner's. It's going to be messy and expensive with only lawyers being the winners.
