Statement by TUV Comber councillor Stephen Cooper:
“The recent tweet from a Sinn Fein/IRA TD exemplifies the true mind set of those within the republican movement.
“The gloating and celebration of mass murder is as sickening today as it was on the day of those tragic and horrific atrocities.
“The rightful condemnation from Sinn Fein/IRA’s Unionist executive partners rings hollow as they continue to sanitise and indeed elevate those within the same organisation.
“Mandatory coalition with terrorist representatives has not, and cannot ever provide stable government for Northern Ireland.
“Then again, that’s patently not what Sinn Fein/IRA are striving for.”
