Page "Bloody Sunday (1972)" Paragraph 28

* Gerald Donaghy.

Shot in the stomach while attempting to run to safety between Glenfada Park and Abbey Park.

Donaghy was brought to a nearby house by bystanders where he was examined by a doctor.

His pockets were turned out in an effort to identify him.

A later police photograph of Donaghy's corpse showed nail bombs in his pockets.

Neither those who searched his pockets in the house nor the British army medical officer ( Soldier 138 ) who pronounced him dead shortly afterwards say they saw any bombs.

Donaghy had been a member of Fianna Éireann, an IRA-linked Republican youth movement.

Paddy Ward, a police informer who gave evidence at the Saville Inquiry, claimed that he had given two nail bombs to Donaghy several hours before he was shot dead.
