Statement by TUV North Antrim MLA Jim Allister:-
“The glorification this weekend by Sinn Fein of the vile murderer of young Ballymena mother, Yvonne Dunlop, is beyond sick.
“Yet, this is the party that the DUP continues to partner in government. In honouring McIlwee, Michelle O’Neill again runs salt in the deep wounds inflicted needlessly by bloodthirsty IRA terror.
“What did Yvonne Dunlop do to deserve to be burnt to death by McIlwee and his cohorts? Yet, to this day IRA/Sinn Fein defend and glory in such viscous terrorism, while all the time parading themselves as a party of government. A system of government which facilitate such is wholly perverse and obscene.”
