North’s violent past ‘not laid to rest’

THE British Government has not grasped the thorny issue of the North’s violent past, one of the main drivers behind the peace process has said.

Denis Bradley, former vice-chairman of the PSNI policing board, also warned of the burden facing policing if the service has to launch another major investigation into the 1972 Bloody Sunday killings.

Mr Bradley’s comments came as Protestant church leaders, including the Church of Ireland Bishop of Derry and Raphoe Ken Good, met with the Bloody Sunday families.
