Bishop backs investigation into Ballymurphy massacre

Government and society must have the guts to confront past wrongs in the North if the region is to look to a better future, a senior Catholic Church leader said today.

Bishop of Down and Connor Noel Treanor stressed the need for lingering sores from the Troubles to be salved as he publicly backed a campaign for an inquiry into the British Army killings of 11 people in west Belfast almost 40 years ago.
