Text

Deputy First Minister, many of us are really angry at the Secretary of State for running to Dublin for an agreement on legacy but not addressing the fact that Dublin has never admitted its role in IRA terrorism. It has not cooperated with the Omagh inquiry, and there has been no justice from the Dublin Government for, for example, the families of Ian Sproule and Lord Justice Gibson or the Hanna family. Will you assure us that you will do everything that you can to make sure that the issue of legacy addresses the core principle of justice?
