Statement by TUV leader Jim Allister:-
“Of course it is right that Junior minister Jennifer McCann should be pursued and called to account in the Assembly over her actions and inactions in the Mairia Cahill case, but there is something hypocritical in the DUP’s blind eye approach to the fact that they are content to sit in government with this same minister, who was sentenced to 20 years for shooting a police officer. Day and daily her DUP counterpart, Jonathan Bell, poses and works with her, even to the ironic extent of jointly presiding with this victim-maker over victims’ issues!
“It is right to be exercised about her appalling stance on Mairia Cahill, but what about her stance on shooting police officers?”
