Controversy as Sinn Fein leader Michelle O'Neill voices pride over IRA at republican commemoration
Controversy as Sinn Fein leader Michelle O'Neill voices pride over IRA at republican commemoration. Please note this programme has been edited since transmission.
Michelle O'Neill has called on her political opponents to 'stop fighting a war that's over'. The Sinn Fein leader made the comments at an event commemorating the shooting of eight IRA men in Loughgall 30 years ago. But do victims and political opponents of Sinn Fein not have a valid case for opposing the commemoration of IRA men? Or is Michelle O'Neill right - is it time to accept that everyone has a right to commemorate their dead without criticism from politicians and the media? Former DUP MLA Nelson McCausland, former Sinn Fein MLA Daithi McKay and UUP MP Tom Elliot.
Also on the programme, a new row involving Ashers bakery after it is alleged they refused order for engagement cake for gay couple.
And, calls for clampdown on drinking duty free booze on flights - good idea or plane crazy?
