The continued denial of justice for the Bloody Sunday families is deeply disappointing.
Fifty three years ago, the British Army indiscriminately murdered civilians on the streets of Derry.
Over fifteen years ago, the then British Prime Minister publicly acknowledged the role of British soldiers on Bloody Sunday.
Yet, not one British soldier or their military and political superiors has ever been held to account.
That is an affront to justice.
I want to commend the courage and determination of the Bloody Sunday families.
For more than five decades, they have campaigned with dignity and resilience for justice for their loved ones, their deeply cherished sons and fathers, uncles and brothers.
I extend my full solidarity to the families and to the wider community of Derry who will be hurting today.
I will continue to support you all in whatever steps you choose to take next in pursuit of justice.
