'It’s a bad business' soldier told Bloody Sunday priest

Bloody Sunday was described as a ‘‘bad day’s work’’ by a soldier in Londonderry in the hours after the killings, the Saville Inquiry heard today.

The remark was alleged to have been made by a squaddie who stopped people leaving Londonderry’s Bogside on January 30 1972 following the killing of 13 men during a Parachute Regiment operation there, retired school principal Francis Dunne said.
