The Secretary of State Owen Paterson has received his
copy of the Saville Report on the events of Bloody Sunday.

The families of those killed and injured, the soldiers involved and some MPs
and Peers will be given access to the report on Tuesday morning.

The inquiry was set up to re-examine the deaths of 13 people killed when
British soldiers opened fire on a civil rights march in Londonderry in 1972.

The inquiry, led by Lord Saville, was announced in 1998 and cost about
£195m.

It became the longest-running inquiry in British legal history.

The shootings were among the most controversial state killings in the
Northern Ireland conflict.

The Saville Report is expected to run to 10 volumes containing 5,000 pages.

There has been criticism from all sides over the length of time the process
has taken.

Dermot Walsh,
Professor of Law at the University of Limerick, who supported the establishment
of the inquiry, said Saville's findings have been "seriously
diminished" by the length of time it has taken to compile them.
