I agree with my colleagues in Sinn Féin who raise the question of Aidan McAnespie. It is shocking that a young man on his way to play a game of football was shot by a soldier. They have tried to maintain that it was a ricochet. It was nothing of the kind. One of the British soldiers who was there said how shocking it was. This young man had to pass through that checkpoint twice a day on his way to and from work. His unfortunate mother used to go with him to try to protect him. It is utterly shocking and it displays a grotesque lack of discipline on the part of the British Army. I am disgusted by it.
