|
On November 21, 1920, British soldiers shot dead 12 spectators and one player
|
|
at a football match in an atrocity that became known as "Bloody Sunday".
|
|
|
|
The Domhnach na Fola massacre was decisive in turning public sympathy
|
|
decisively against the British Government.
|
|
|
|
The Queen's visit today marks another milestone in public acknowledgements by
|
|
the monarch of the past wrongs committed by Britain during its rule of
|
|
Ireland.
