ANDRÉE MURPHY: The Paras' reputation is not 'proud' and they are not 'valiant'
MAYBE Justice Lynch felt he was acknowledging the Bloody Sunday families when he spoke of the Parachute Regiment’s actions in Derry 1972 being a source of shame. However, referring to the “proud reput...

If you are keen on unifying the country maybe mention the disgraceful lack of voting rights of Irish citizens, living in their own country but on the wrong side of partition.
