On the Run From the Republic
01 November 2011
Responding to the Irish Republic’s presidential election TUV leader Jim Allister said:“Martin McGuinness is no stranger to being on the run in the Republic but it’s now more of a case of being on the run from the Republic.
“Having been soundly beaten in the election he can now file away his character references from Peter Robinson and Ian Paisley which were repeatedly produced when his IRA connections were quite rightly placed under the microscope by the Southern media and run back to the comforting embrace of Rev Latimer.
“The outrageous thing is that while the electorate of the Irish Republic had the good sense to resoundingly reject McGuinness, the DUP will reinstate him as co-equal First Minister.
“If he isn’t good enough for the Republic why should we accept him up here?”
