I Bear No Grudge

Stray Bullets

This episode is Part One of Two in which I look at two atrocities, one in 1972 and one in 1987, through the words of two fathers who both experienced the murder of one of their children. Ultimately, this episode will, I hope, help me explore the aspect of 'forgiveness' in the context of conflict, specifically the Troubles.
In Part Two (the concluding episode) I would hope to be freer to voice my thoughts - not only on the aspect of 'forgiveness', but also on that of the seeking of an apology, of sorts, as well as repentance from the Provisional IRA.
In Part One I have used extracts from the following books:

• On The Waterfront, Parker, Joseph D., The Pentland Press, 2000
• Lost Lives. McKittrick, David, et al, Mainstream Publishing 2004
