Text

Ms Ennis asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister, after noting that it is disgraceful that the deputy First Minister has not condemned what happened in Scarva last Saturday, whether the deputy First Minister will take another opportunity to condemn the presence of masked men in the crowd who hurled the most extreme racist and sectarian abuse at peaceful protesters, and whether she distances herself from her party colleague Carla Lockhart, who gave political cover to those masked men, after her disgraceful and dangerous comment that what happened in Scarva could have ended in a "bloodbath".

97 words. Text as published by the Northern Ireland Assembly.
