Sunday saw the commemoration and glorification of Republican terrorism in South Armagh. The idea of a family fun day as an attempt to normalise killing sprees is simply appalling when so many families have been deprived of family fun days within their own families that have been ripped apart by those who today will be […]
Statement by TUV leader Jim Allister “The Sinn Fein shibboleth that “we all have the right to remember our dead” is a fallacy, built on the falsity of equivalence between victims and victim-makers, so essential to their rewriting of history. “Just as there is no such equivalence, so there is a vast distinction between respectfully […]
Statement by TUV Cusher councillor Keith Ratcliffe: “The comments of Sinn Fein’s Conor Murphy after meeting the Republic’s Prime Minister highlight why Stormont shouldn’t return. “To dismiss the concerns of those who suffered at the hands of the PIRA in South Armagh as nothing more than “distraction politics” displays gross insensitivity. “No one has made […]
TUV Court councillor Ron McDowell said: “Ms O’Neill’s comments about John Finucane’s participation in an event to celebrate the bloody deeds of south Armagh IRA show just how removed Sinn Fein remain from basic decency. There was nothing “complex” about lining up men on their way home from an honest day’s work and shooting them […]
Statement by TUV Cusher councillor Keith Ratcliffe: On Sunday week Sinn Fein MP John Finucane is billed as the main speaker at an event described as the “South Armagh Volunteers Commemoration”.

TUV spokesperson for Newry and Armagh, Keith Ratcliffe said: “Anyone who witnessed the procession in Armagh on Friday afternoon will have been left in no doubt about the highly political and partisan nature of this event. “Since 2020, ABC Council shelved their own parade to give precedence to this ‘Cross-Community’ parade, which they have since […]
Statement by TUV leader Jim Allister:- “In swimming against the tide of hysteria about Joe Biden’s visit, let me be clear that this President is an avowed nationalist partisan who in his past, when the IRA’s murder campaign was in full swing, joined with other meddling US politicians to seek to prevent extradition of wanted […]
Statement by TUV Newry and Armagh representative Keith Ratcliffe: “A short time ago the leader of Sinn Fein in Northern Ireland stood with other political leaders to condemn the attempted murder of a police officer in Omagh. Yesterday Republican grandees assembled in Dublin to pay tribute to a terrorist. “Let’s not forget that Rita O’Hare […]
