Bogside

Two of the key negotiators in the lead-up to the 1998 Good Friday Agreement are to examine a possible “Derry influence” on the history-marking deal.

Unionists were pleased that the cancellation of the traditional Bogside August 15 bonfire meant there would be no burning of flags and emblems this year, a Derry unionist councillor has said.

In a positive and welcome move, an anti-internment bonfire traditionally erected in Derry's Bogside has been called off.

A campaigner for victims of historical abuse who witnessed two teenagers being injured on Bloody Sunday has declined to be made an MBE.

Derry’s Bloody Sunday families have unveiled a new mural highlighting the only victim of the massacre not to be completely exonerated by the Saville Inquiry.

It is deeply depressing to note that many of the familiar security fences across Belfast and Derry have now been in place for considerably longer than the Berlin Wall.

WORK is expected to start in the coming days on the removal of security fencing on Derry’s walls between the Bogside and inner city.

When the writer and campaigner Lyra McKee was shot dead in Derry on April 18, 2019, the organisation known as the New IRA admitted responsibility for her murder, offered apologies to her family and partner and said she had not been its intended target.

THE New IRA has claimed it fired seven shots at the PSNI close to an anti-interment bonfire in Derry.
