Bloody Sunday
prev.
play.
mark.
next.

:21:01
Very good.
:21:02
Uh, Coldstreams?
:21:03
Coldstreams are up
on the city walls

:21:06
and King's Own are the north
side of William Street.

:21:09
One Para are in the Presbyterian
churchyard just here.

:21:12
Very good.
:21:13
And Three Company are
behind barrier 14.

:21:15
If there's any trouble
:21:16
Support Company
will break through...

:21:18
I don't think there's any doubt
about that. There will be.

:21:20
Okay, Support Company then
will break through the wall

:21:22
for the Presbyterian
churchyard

:21:23
through this dead ground,
break through this wall

:21:26
and they, in turn...
they're gonna come round

:21:28
and sweep round behind
all the hooligans

:21:29
round about Aggro Corner
:21:30
sweeping them
towards barrier 14.

:21:32
At the same time
:21:33
Three Company will be breaking
through barrier 14

:21:35
and the hooligans will be caught
in a pincer movement.

:21:38
Thank you, Charles.
:21:39
I should just say, sir,
of course

:21:41
One Para only go in
if there is violence

:21:44
and then only
if there is a clear separation

:21:46
between the march proper
and the hooligan element.

:21:49
Uh, do we know
who we're looking for?

:21:51
Yeah, we've got OPs
:21:52
at strategic points
all along the route.

:21:54
Um, and they all...
:21:55
They've all been briefed
on all the local known players.

:21:58
They've seen pictures,
have they?

:21:59
-Yes. Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.

:22:00
-Good, very good.
-We-We have a cordon

:22:02
of snipers here, sir,
should the lRA wish

:22:04
to make a contribution
this afternoon.

:22:05
Yes, I'm sure they will.
:22:06
Do you know
where they're going to be?

:22:08
-Michael?
-Yes, sir.

:22:09
We are concentrating on the top
of these block of flats

:22:10
which is where we imagine
they'll be.

:22:12
And possibly Glenfada Park
across the road, sir.

:22:14
Very good. Rubber bullets--
have the men all been issued?

:22:16
-Uh, yes, sir.
-Good.

:22:17
Maurice?
:22:18
Sir?
:22:19
Anything I haven't thought of?
:22:21
Uh, I suspect press placement
:22:22
would be quite important
today, sir.

:22:23
Yes, winning the propaganda war.
:22:25
Absolutely vital.
:22:26
Who's in charge of that?
:22:27
Lieutenant Hector, sir, is
our Press Liaison Officer, sir.

:22:29
There are a few points
which will, um, please you.

:22:31
As per your request,
both local and national coverage

:22:33
will be occurring on the day
:22:35
and this will be
in the main three formats

:22:36
of press
from the leading tabloids

:22:38
additionally from the major
television companies

:22:40
and radio stations.
:22:41
Talk to Colonel Tugwell
about where that's going to be

:22:43
and knock that out for me,
please, Maurice.

:22:45
Good. Thank you. Well done.
:22:46
Thank you, Michael.
:22:47
Right, you can just carry on.
:22:49
So, maybe, um...
:22:50
the press will congregate
around barrier 12 itself.

:22:52
Then once there...
:22:53
Yes, I suspect that's probably
the best location for them.

:22:56
Um, they've got a clear view
down Rossville Street.

:22:59
Especially Generals.
