Statement from Bishop Ken Good, Derry & Raphoe, pending publication of the Saville Report

"As the eyes of the world focus once again on our proud and historic city, it is important that the stories and pictures which go out from here portray a community which is growing in maturity and self-confidence. This is a time to show that we have the desire and the will to deal courageously and humbly with issues that have long been painful and contentious.

My hope is that in these pivotal days we will all listen carefully to one another as well as paying careful attention to the findings of the Saville Report.

As individuals and as a community, let us speak in measured, constructive and respectful tones given that, as with every death or injury, we are dealing with deep emotion and human pain."
