Saville Enquiry
If there is the will to investigate and correct errors the money can be found!
The Saville report's numbers are their own indictment – 434 days in session, 12 years from inception to publication, a £191m budget, tens of millions of words and finally a retail price of £572. It is not surprising that many observers and even some of those involved wonder whether, whatever its findings, the Bloody Sunday inquiry could really have been worth it. This is the wrong conclusion. The power to hold the state to account is precious beyond price.
This was to investigate 14 deaths - about the numbers of one Shackleton crew!
