I'd like to annotate a bit better some time. I reckon someone will think of good ways to link it elsewhere. It's a subject with great resonances in British and irish working class history.

I don't really understand the references to O'Connell and Kasey, which seem inconsequential, so I haven't changed them Thompson lists the dead as Curner, Connell and Harrison. The name Linnell is often given as one of the dead, but thompson insists he was actually a victim of one of the earlier disturbances: he got associated with Bloody Sunday itslf because he died around the same time, although he was certainly a martyr of the same movement.

I'm still keen to improve this page further but wondered whether it any longer counted as a stub.Sjwells53 17:19, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

who coined the term?
Just a note this article makes no mention of who gave the event its name. Obviously not the first violent act that took place on a Sunday. Gjxj (talk) 23:35, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

Aftermath
The article should perhaps spend some words on whether Bloody Sunday had an impact on Irish independence thirty years later or not, and how the situation impacted the British view on policing, if at all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.61.180.106 (talk) 23:09, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
