Bloody Sunday attacks by Fianna denied

A Sinn Féin councillor, who was leader of the Fianna, the junior wing of the IRA in Derry, tonight denied its members were involved in attacks on the British army on Bloody Sunday.

Gerry O’hEara, a former northern chairperson of Sinn Féin, told the Saville Inquiry he was certain his friend and fellow Fianna member, Gerard Donaghy, was not carrying nail bombs when he was shot dead that day.
