IRA branches argued over guns, inquiry told
The Saville Inquiry today heard claims that members of the Official and Provisional branches of the IRA argued when Officials produced guns in Derry’s Bogside in the aftermath of the Bloody Sunday shootings.
Witness Peter McGriskin told the hearings in the city’s Guildhall that two cars, each carrying three or four ‘‘stickies’’ - Official IRA men - drew up on the Old Bog Road, just south of the main action that day, got out and took weapons out of the boots of the front vehicle.
