No justice in Sinn Fein/DUP run Ulster

28 April 2008

Speaking at the formation of a new branch of Traditional Unionist Voice in Enniskillen MEP Jim Allister hit out at the perversion of justice in Northern Ireland.

“Tuesday night’s documentary on the Enniskillen bomb reminded us just how unfit Martin McGuinness is to hold the position of joint First Minister. If, as some Unionists foolishly claim, Republicans now support the police why is McGuinness not cooperating with the PSNI to obtain justice for those who were killed and injured in the bombing?

By allowing unrepentant terrorists into government and claiming that they support the rule of law, while giving a by ball on information on past crimes in this county and throughout our Province, they have granted terrorists a de facto amnesty, both judicial and political.

The utter madness of current DUP policy was recently illustrated when local DUP councillor Bert Johnston welcomed the appointment of convicted terrorist Sean Lynch to Fermanagh DPP as someone who could bring “individual experience” to the role of overseeing the work of the police!

“Do not forget that Lynch did not even pay the price for his crimes. Because of the prisoner releases under the terms of the iniquitous Belfast Agreement – an Agreement now enthusiastically embraced by the DUP – Lynch did not serve his full sentence for attempting to launch a landmine attack on an Army patrol in 1986.

But one does not have to go back to the 1980s to find evidence of Republican blood lust. Next week the Independent Monitoring Commission will publish a report which will cover the brutal IRA murder of Paul Quinn. The IMC are already on record as saying that there was IRA involvement in the killing. Should they repeat this next week the moment of truth will have arrived for the DUP. Will the DUP Chairman, Lord Morrow, follow through on his Assembly speech agreeing the IRA murdered Quinn?  Or, will he join Jeffrey Donaldson in running round looking for the Army Council minute book to find a let-out clause for the Provos?

Sadly, the DUP has already presided over the corruption of government and justice by elevating terrorists to the highest positions in the land and welcoming them onto DPPs. Will they also turn a blind eye to this vicious murder by the military wing of their partner in government?  I confidently predict, self interest, will ensure they will twist, turn and prevaricate enough to literally let the Provos off with murder.”
