R V SOLDIER F - STATEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE FAMILY OF WILLIAM MCKINNEY Following the judgment delivered at Belfast Crown Court this morning, Mickey McKinney, brother of William McKinney said: “Today marks the end of the prosecution of Soldier F for the murder and attempted murder of the innocents on Bloody Sunday. “The families and wounded and our supporters leave this courthouse with an incredible sense of pride in our achievements. “Soldier F has been discharged from the defendant’s criminal dock, but it is one million miles away from being an honourable discharge. “Unlike his victims, there has been no declaration of Soldier F’s innocence. “Soldier F created 2 young widows on Bloody Sunday and he orphaned 12 children. And he deprived dozens of siblings of a loving brother. “The Bloody Sunday families do not lay the blame for today’s decision with the trial judge. “The blame lies firmly: - With the British state; - With the RUC who failed to investigate the murders on Bloody Sunday properly, or indeed at all; and - With the British Army who shielded and enabled its soldiers to continue to murder with impunity, and immunity, and also with the office of the then Director of Public Prosecutions who, with a nod and a wink, complicitly signed off on decisions not to prosecute in 1972 without even raising an eyebrow. “Most importantly however, responsibility lies with the thugs of Frank Kitson’s private army, the 1st Battalion of the Parachute Regiment who opened fire, and those who directed and protected them. “Despite the heroism, steadfastness and dignity of the Bloody Sunday Families and Wounded, a coward walks free from the dock. “Not through the front door of this courthouse like every other vindicated, wrongly accused defendant proudly does, but instead, once his curtain has been pulled back for him, creeping out the back door. “The type of thug, who is well used to special treatment, well used to having important and powerful connections, with his police escort in tow, back over to hide in Palace Barracks, where it all began. “Thank you.”

@ColumbCollege Don’t mean to be pedantic - heroes- but JJ Keaveney would be turning in his grave.

Our footballers returned to a hero’s welcome this morning surrounded by their parents, peers, staff and sponsors. More photos to follow.

@regandromore @RuanGaa @officialgaa Great GAA people, cherish these moments Kevin.

The heartfelt sense of community shone through in @RuanGaa this morning during @officialgaa Uachtarán Jarlath Burns visit when they recognised Ml O'Regan ( aka Dad), Frankie Lyons, John Sullivan (aka Sullie) & Christy O'Connor who have served their community for decades #gaa 💛💙

@redeamon1 @ConorCounihan Happy 10th birthday Pauric! Hard to beat a Munster final, Eamon. Hope to see you again soon.

@ConorCounihan That was us, what a game to see! He met the Cork hurlers before and after the game! He even had a puc about with some of the players, he had an amazing time( I did too)🔴⚪️

@ConorCounihan @redeamon1

@NUJofficial McCann’s the man! Well deserved honour @eamonderry .

Eamonn McCann has been named as NUJ Member of Honour at the union’s Delegate Meeting. In a video address, President D Higgins said Eamonn’s life was “lived with an unyielding commitment to truth, to justice.”

Huge thanks to @eugemccafferty and everyone at the @ClareChampion for including photographs of our @McKeeverSports Super 9’s series launch in the @cusackcentre in today’s edition. Míle buíochas! Key Dates: Wed. 30th April - Camogie Super 9’s Wed. 14th May - Hurling Super 9’s

@McKaneDJ @sinnfeinireland @conormurphysf He’s given up a position of significance for an opposition seat in the lower house with no absolutely no influence on policy or legislation. I’m old enough to remember when SF wanted to abolish the Seanad describing it as, “elite and out of touch” and “accountable to nobody”.

@sinnfeinireland @conormurphysf Conor is well aware of the challenges for Derry & Donegal… Highest Unemployment, Highest long term inactivity, lowest disposable income etc… The partition of the island cut Derry (Capital of NW) off from its natural hinterland - corrective actions must include both! #Derry

Sinn Féin Seanad leader @conormurphysf will prioritise advancing the all-Ireland economy, providing a voice for the people of the North, extending presidential voting rights to all Irish citizens and building towards a referendum on Irish reunification vote.sinnfein.ie/senator-conor-…

Gort Community School GAA initiative now going nationwide! Fantastic Super 9s Camogie, football, ladies football and hurling competitions for secondary schools across the island.

@brianarthur @IrishTimes @irishexaminer @Limerick_ie Special one Brian, well done!

Delighted to take the front page of the @IrishTimes today and also the back page of the @irishexaminer with my photo taken Tuesday night of the Starling Murmuration in Fedamore, @Limerick_ie

@conwayforclare Congratulations Martin and to your better half Breege, well deserved!

I am absolutely delighted to be reelected for another term in Seanad Eireann. Thank you to the Councillors & Oireachtas members who supported me. Looking forwsrd to the nect term

My heart besieged by anger, my mind a gap of danger. I walked among their old haunts the home ground where they bled; And in the dirt lay justice like an acorn in the winter Till its oak would sprout in Derry where the thirteen men lay dead.

For Yeats' anniversary today, here is the poem 'Aedh Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven' written down on a postcard in the 1930s by WB Yeats himself. The postcard was a gift for the child of Alfie Byrne (1882-1956), Lord Mayor of Dublin, 1931-1939.
