Sinn Féin MP johnfinucane is urged to reconsider his attendance at an IRA commemoration in south Armagh later.
A Sinn Féin MP has been urged to reconsider his attendance at an IRA commemoration in south Armagh later.His involvement has been condemned by IRA victims, unionists and the Irish government.
Sinn Féin has previously said everyone has the right "to remember their dead with dignity and respect". Lesley Magee's grandmother, Nan Davis, was among six Protestants killed in the Coleraine attack on 12 June 1973."I don't think we should be commemorating terrorism on any level, whether it be Protestant, whether it be Catholic," she told BBC News NI.
However, earlier this week Sinn Féin assembly member Conor Murphy dismissed the row as a diversionary tactic by the DUP."The real issue is here is the fact that public services are crashing round our ears."
