Police officers murdered in Londonderry
Tabled 27 January 2025 by Mr Gregory Campbell
That this House notes that on 27 January 1972 two police officers, Sergeant Peter Gilgunn and Constable David Montgomery, one a 26 year old Roman Catholic, the other a 20 year old Protestant, were murdered while on patrol in Londonderry by the IRA using a Thompson Sub Machine Gun; further notes the considerable interest by public inquiry, books, films and discussion groups in events known as Bloody Sunday in the same location three days later while ignoring these murders; and acknowledges that this year Londonderry and Strabane Council, Northern Ireland Assembly, House of Lords and House of Commons were represented at a wreath laying ceremony held to ensure that innocents murdered by terrorists are not forgotten.
