Statement by TUV leader Jim Allister:-
“What I heard from Martin McGuinness tonight in his Eamonn Mallie interview was the gloating of an unrepentant terrorist, who, not for the first time, should be interviewed by the PSNI about his terrorist exploits and his glorification of terrorism.
“As ever he ran away from the truth. Truth is not sensationalism; it is what McGuinness can’t face. “This is the man the DUP has sustained as Joint First Minister for 8 years. In a week when the DUP is poised to return to full cohabitation in the executive with IRA/Sinn Fein, their partner has neither remorse or regret for his terrorist career, nor pity for his IRA’s innocent victims.
“Let it never be forgotten McGuinness only gets to lord it over Northern Ireland because the DUP keep him in office.”
