"Today's findings are both long overdue and deeply significant," Gerry Carroll said.
"These families have spent over 50 years fighting for the truth about what happened on that July day in Springhill. Today, they have been vindicated."
"The coroner has confirmed what these families always knew: that these innocent individuals were killed unlawfully by British soldiers who lost control, overreacted and gave no warnings before opening fire. Today, the state has finally acknowledged what was done to them."
"This is a moment of vindication, hard-won through decades of courage and determination by the families and their supporters. Now it's time for state-backed killers to be brought to justice."
