There was no cover-up of the shooting dead of 10 people in Ballymurphy - that's the claim made by the former head of the Army. General Sir Mike Jackson -  speaking at the inquest into the shootings - called it a "preposterous accusation". There was laughter from the public gallery when the former Army chief said "we don't do conspiracies". General Jackson was being questioned about why soldiers involved in the shootings were not interviewed by the Royal Military Police at the time. Stephen spoke to Irish News Security Correspondent Allison Morris who has been following the inquest.
