South Down is a welcoming place defined by beautiful forests, mountains, and beaches - not masked intimidation
Next time you visit @carlalockhart you should look into what our constituency actually has to offer, rather than standing with masked men intimidating women & children
🚨BREAKING: Widow of man murdered by the IRA breaks down at press conference. 'I'm not going to hide again.'
🎥Claire Dignam speaking at a press conference from @KRWLaw following the final report of Operation Kenova today.
Chief Reporter @jamesgould23 was there.
She told reporters from across the world that she will not hide ever again and how her husband wrote her a love letter before he was killed.
John Dignam was murdered in 1992.
It is believed he was killed because he was suspected of working for the British security services.
Statement from @KRWLaw reads: “Today is not the end of what at times has been a fraught and anxiety-laden journey for the next of kin of those murdered by PIRA ISU as suspected ‘touts’ or informants.
Today’s Kenova Report does not bookend things. Rather, it points the way forward to getting more answers and opens doors on many other unresolved issues, not the least of which is the one staring everyone in the face this afternoon – the failure to name Mr Fred Scappaticci as the agent Stakeknife.”

this image of Starmer rolling out the red carpet for the president of the terrorist state of Israel will not age well for the British PM
No member of the foreign British royal family has ever attended a loyal band parade in the north of Ireland despite them being described as examples of British culture by the migrant boat people who support them. Just let that sink in.
@Nialler6767 Sinn fein member that had no interaction with a group of people just assumes what they’re like. Very bigoted view to just tar everyone based on something made up in your own head.
@pauldelaney2012@CalmDownPlzzz None of them have planning permission because they are not permanent structures. All do go through planning with the DFI though so are legal

The justice department is going to be under a serious amount of pressure once it comes out who was arrested for the murder in Banbridge on Saturday and the crimes he has committed in the past and been bailed for.
@PhilipReavey@R4FcMuK7k8IhUKz Everyone in that video went to church in commemoration of Ulster Day, has happened in Newry for over 60 years and won’t ever stop. There is no hatred of anyone just people who celebrate important aspects of their own culture.
@PhilipReavey@R4FcMuK7k8IhUKz Well done?! Two old men shouting from the side of a pub at people parading to church. They did absolutely nothing bar make a fool of themselves.
Every victim, and their families, deserve truth, justice and accountability.
I hope the Finucane family gets the information they have campaigned many years for.
There is literally a statue in Newry (and street names) in honour of a man who supported slavery in America. SF will never address it though because he was a United Irish man and has GAA clubs named after him too. Virtue signalling at its highest.
Newry Stands Against Racism
Today I joined the ‘Stand Up To Racism’ rally at Daisy Hill organised by local trade unions and community organisations.
Newry is a proud multi cultural city & our minority ethnic citizens are an important and valuable part of our community.
@IrishHouse If he was singing about the IRA and how great they were as they murdered people because of their religious beliefs like the Wolftones do, I’ll maybe give it a miss
The brass neck on them to say unionism is fed a diet of sectarianism and hatred, while paying the Wolftones to come sing “oh ah up the Ra” at the end of the festival 😂😂
“Grassroots, working class unionism have been sadly abandoned by their political leadership.
“They’re being fed a diet of sectarianism and hatred.
“We need to make sure they are aren’t completely left behind in our society & in a new Ireland.”
