The meeting followed a recent newspaper article, in which Mr Orde criticised the Saville inquiry. He subsequently clarified his remarks.
Liam Wray, whose brother Jim was one of the 14 victims, said he had been slightly shocked by the initial comments but accepted that Mr Orde had since issued a clarification.

Mr Orde said afterwards it had been a dignified meeting with dignified people. He also said he had made it clear that he never said the inquiry was a waste of money.
