Last Saturday night I was honoured to perform "Minds Locked Shut" on RTE 1, and to present the "People of the Year Award" to Jean Hegarty and Allanah Burke. They accepted it on behalf of the 28 Families who have been campaigning for 38 years seeking justice for the victims of the Bloody Sunday Murders in Derry in 1972. They accepted the award with dignity, graciousness and gratitude amidst applause and celebration. David Cameron's apology in The House of Commons seems to have freed the hands of many. It has been a long road for those who lost their loved ones that January day in 1972.
