Martin McGuinness has said he will be not be naming any other IRA members to the Bloody Sunday inquiry, despite admitting that he was the organisation's second-in-command in Derry at the time of the shootings.
The North's Education Minister has already provided the three judges at the inquiry with a detailed draft statement and will be questioned by its solicitors before being called to give evidence in person later this year.
He is to tell the inquiry he had ordered the IRA not to bring guns into the Bogside on Bloody Sunday, but that two armed four-man units were on defensive standby in the Brandywell and Creggan areas.
By the rules of the inquiry, any evidence given cannot be used against Mr McGuinness in any subsequent prosecution, so there is no question of him being arrested for IRA membership.
