Bloody Sunday, Brian Faulkner, direct rule

In this primary source, Brian Faulkner, the Northern Ireland Prime Minister, claimed the deaths of the January 30, 1972 civil rights march could have been avoided if the marchers had adhered to the processions ban. Faulkner argued that the Northern Ireland government should remain, and the British did not need to have direct rule of Northern Ireland.
