RTÉ Radio gets reaction to the Cameron Report from William Craig, John Hume, Ronald Bunting, Bernadette Devlin, Eddie McAteer and Gerry Fitt.
Martin Wallace reports on the Northern Ireland Government's reaction.
William Craig comments that he does not accept the criticisms made of him in the report.
John Hume describes the report as "a devastating indictment of Unionist government" which vindicates the civil rights movement.
Ronald Bunting denied criticism of his presence at the protests and says he was there in the promotion of peace.
Bernadette Devlin says the report was inept and incompetent, and denies ever advocating violence, and makes no apology for urging people to defend their homes from police attack.
Eddie McAteer is sceptical if the report can bring lasting peace to Northern Ireland.
