Madam, – Now that the truth about Bloody Sunday has been finally legally established, may I thank all in the Republic of Ireland who helped bring us to this day.
I especially want to personally express my gratitude to those colleagues and friends who believed me, who supported me and who counselled me when I studied and worked in Dublin in the years following my experiences in my native Derry in 1972. Many, many thanks. We have overcome. – Yours, etc,
