Allister slams Murphy's defence of the IRA
20 January 2009
Statement by TUV leader Jim Allister MEP
"How predictable: the IRA exposed as having brutually murdered Gerard Evans and within hours Government Minister Murphy is out to peddle the usual IRA propaganda of denial. Just as he denied any IRA involvement in the Paul Quinn murder and in the Northern Bank robbery.
"No one believes him. What a scandal that such an apologist for terrorists is permitted to be a Government Minister, paid by the British taxpayer to spout Provo propaganda. If this was happening under Trimble the DUP would be in uproar, but with clinging to office with IRA/Sinn Fein now mattering more than anything else, sadly, they are strategically compliant."
