Commenting on the British Prime Minister’s apology to the families of the Springhill Massacre, Leas-Uachtarán Michelle O’Neill said, “The British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s apology to the families of those killed by the British Army in the Springhill massacre on 9 July 1972 – Fr Noel Fitzpatrick, Patrick Butler, John Dougal, David McCafferty and Margaret Gargan – is an important acknowledgement of the suffering endured by these families over many decades.
“Nothing can undo the pain and loss experienced by those who lost loved ones that day. But acknowledgment matters. The Springhill families deserve the truth, and they deserve to have that truth publicly recognised.”
