4.00PM MINUTE’S SILENCE TO REMEMBER DERRY’S BLOODY SUNDAY DEAD

A minute’s silence will take place in Derry this afternoon to mark the 42nd anniversary of Bloody Sunday.

The silent tribute will take place at the Bloody Sunday memorial in Rossville Street at 4.00pm to remember the 14 people shot dead by British paratroopers on 30 January 1972.

The Bloody Sunday Trust and the Pat Finucane Centre are urging people to make a special effort to attend the event taking place at 4.00pm.

Meanwhile, at 7.30pm tomorrow a free panel discussion, entitled “Dealing with the Haass?” will take place in the Foyle Drama Theatre of the North West Regional College on Lawrence Hill.

The debate will look at the Haass proposals and why they have proved so controversial and “hard to swallow for some.”
