	Troops Out Movement - Bloody Sunday

		Saville made a start of the inquiry after British Prime Minister Tony Blair ordered it in 1998, but postponed it while the paratroopers involved in the shooting battled for -- and won -- the right to remain anonymous during the proceedings.
		Roddy said she saw the proceedings more as "an opening of the heart" than an inquiry and added that she was confident in the results.

	BBC News \| BLOODY SUNDAY INQUIRY \| Chronology: the Widgery report
		On the eve of the 26th anniversary of Bloody Sunday, Tony Blair announces an independent judicial inquiry into Bloody Sunday, headed by the British Law Lord, Lord Saville of Newdigate, and two judges from Commonwealth countries.
		The inquiry will come under the 1921 Enquiry Tribunal Act, which means that it will have powers to subpoena witnesses and compel disclosure of documents.
		The naming of the inquiry as the Bloody Sunday Inquiry is viewed as having huge significance and a symbolic move to detach the new investigation from the Widgery inquiry.

	AN PHOBLACHT/REPUBLICAN NEWS
		Relatives fear that the British inquiry team will use arguments about cost to undermine their entitlement to legal representation and constrain efforts to engage experts capable of challenging the British version of events on Bloody Sunday.
		Since the discredited Widgery inquiry was conducted in the immediate aftermath of Bloody Sunday many pieces of evidence have emerged that the 1st Battalion Parachute Regiment was involved in a premeditated and politically motivated attack.
		Also, in light of the inquiry's announcement last Thursday, when the inquiry said it intends to postpone public hearings by six months, until February 1999, due to the overwhelming volume of evidence, the legal representation on offer to the families can only be seen as hopelessly inadequate.

		Like many journalists he declined to name either the head of the Provisional IRA in the Bogside on Bloody Sunday, or the young woman who was present when the PIRA decided to do nothing as the shooting broke out, in both cases on the grounds of preserving the confidence of sources.

		The inquiry team decided that while serious allegations concerning the events of Bloody Sunday were made, including accusations of murder, they considered asking the Attorney-General for immunity from prosecution for all witnesses to the inquiry.
