Exit one Terrorist, Enter Another
12 June 2012
Statement by TUV leader Jim Allister:
“Jennifer McCann’s appointment as Junior Minister in the government department responsible for victims’ issues underscores the depravity of Stormont political arrangements. Martina Anderson – who was convicted of conspiring to cause explosions – has been replaced by another terrorist who is was sentenced to 20 years for shooting an RUC officer and is on record as describing Bobby Sands as a “great role model” .
“It is ironic in the extreme that the day after DUP MLAs were queuing up to call for stiffer sentences for those who attack the police they find themselves in governmental partnership with yet another terrorist convicted of attacking the RUC.”
