Taoiseach asked to assist victims in prosecutions

Families of some of the Bloody Sunday victims have asked the Taoiseach to help them seek prosecutions.

Members of the McKinney, Duddy, Nash and Young families held talks with Brian Cowen in Dublin this evening - when they presented him with an original copy of the Saville report, which was published yesterday.

The inquiry concluded that what happened in Derry in 1972 was unjustifiable, as the 14 people shot dead by British soldiers were innocent and posed no threat.
