Preas Ráiteas ó RNU/RNU Press Release

The REPUBLICAN NETWORK for UNITY (RNU) Cathaoirleach/Chairperson, DANNY MCBREARTY, slams comments made by David Ford of the Alliance Party as grossly offensive.

“Stormont’s reputed Justice Minister; David Ford claimed the Saville Inquiry, ‘was pointless and so is any question on it’. The Inquiry was initiated to re-examine the truth behind the brutal murder of 14 unarmed Derry residents by British troops in January 1972. The Alliance Leader’s crass statement has insulted the victims’ relatives and the vast majority of people in Derry.

Ford’s e-mail has finally exposed his bizarre definition of what Justice is. It has also demonstrated his holier than thou arrogance about what Bloody Sunday means to the Nationalist/Republican community and how it exaggerated the recent Conflict.

For our part, RNU will not ignore the invidious role played by crypto-unionists including, David Ford who have done nothing to help obtain justice for those killed and injured during Bloody Sunday”.
