SF councillor to give Saville evidence

A Sinn Féin councillor in Derry who was leader of the IRA’s youth wing in the city on Bloody Sunday more than 31 years ago has agreed to give evidence to the Saville Inquiry.

Gerry O’Hara, who was leader of Na Fianna in Derry, is expected to tell the inquiry that he was under orders not to engage the British army during the civil rights march which took place in the city on January 30, 1972.
