Bloody Sunday departure

I'm delighted that this year's Bloody Sunday Memorial Lecture - organised by Nationalist/Republican people in Derry - will be given by Alan McBride, a Shankill Protestant whose wife, father in law and seven others were blown to pieces when the IRA detonated a bomb in Frizell's fish shop in 1993.

 

It was Big to invite him, and it was Big to accept. He's said that he's going to lay down a challenge or two for the Nationalist community, and that's probably no bad thing either. We should remember, however, the challenge that the DUP still has to rise to - namely to share devolved power with the representatives elected by the people Alan is being Big enough to address.

 

There's been enough hurt in Ulster. For goodness' sake let's move on.
