Keith Buchanan said,

“A couple of years ago, Michelle O’Neill said the IRA had “no alternative” but those three men always had an alternative to planting a bomb. That bomb could have murdered innocent men, women and children going about their business in Magherafelt.

Sinn Fein actively celebrate and glorify the IRA and refuse to condemn their terrorist actions. That’s completely confusing for the next generation and sends a mixed message. Murder is not justified in any political cause. Murder was always wrong. There was always an alternative. That’s the message the First Minister should have been delivering.”
