“The most obvious question that should repeatedly be asked of Jim Allister, Gavin Robinson, Carla Lockhart & Jon Burrows is if they would support a republican parade, similar in design & duration, through a named unionist area of their own constituencies akin to the Garvaghy Rd.”

"The days of supremacy and domination are over. The people will decide which party they vote for & who the First Minister is."
“It is once again an example of economic sabotage, of self-harm by the DUP, all because they struggle with internal party cohesion.” - Sinn Féin MP John Finucane on DUP efforts to block attendance of Sinn Féin First Minister at economic meeting.
“I welcome the Irish Government’s announcement of this important step forward on the road to Irish unity. This process must be inclusive from the outset, with everyone having a meaningful opportunity to contribute and have their say in shaping the future of our island.”- McDonald

“The Taoiseach is right that unity requires persuasion and democratic consent. That strengthens the case for preparing now, so people can assess a credible proposition before being asked to vote.” - Sinn Féin Senator Conor Murphy sinnfein.ie/news/taoiseachs-…

Unionist agitators will try "to punish Sinn Féin ministers for joining the residents' protest on the Garvaghy Road. They mistakenly see this as a stick with which to beat Michelle O'Neill and her executive team when in fact it's more akin to self-flagellation.” - John Manley

“If there is a wrong cause to be championed, you can be sure that Lockhart will be there to champion it: Orange Order agitation in Portadown, opposition to the Irish language, knee-jerk support for a state which is committing genocide in Gaza.” - Tom Collins, The Irish News

"The decision not to allow a loyal order march through the lower Ormeau community is the correct one." - Sinn Féin

“The DUP are unable to embrace equality, respect Irish identity, and accept that a nationalist and republican now holds the office of First Minister. It is for the people to decide who represents them as First Minister. Not the DUP.” - Sinn Féin First Minister Michelle O’Neill

Leas-Uachtarán Shinn Féin Michelle O’Neill remembers with pride Vice President of Sinn Féin, Máire Drumm, on her 50th anniversary.

"England remains the only state apart from Iran which has clergy, members of the state church, as of right in the legislature... The House of Lords now has 805 members, the biggest legislative chamber in the world outside China, which has many multiples of Britain’s population."

“Almost 30 years after Seán’s brutal murder, his family should never have been forced to defend their right to a public inquiry in the Supreme Court. The Irish govt must also press the British govt to deliver the inquiry the Brown family deserves.”

“I’m in London today standing alongside the family of Sean Brown as they continue their fight for truth & justice. Five judges have already made clear that a public inquiry is needed, yet the British government continues to fight it.” - John Finucane
"In July 1992 Orangemen shouted pro-UDA slogans and taunted local residents by holding up five fingers - one for each of the dead - while passing the murder scene." - Connla Young, The Irish News

“Tomorrow, the Brown family will face the British Supreme Court, still fighting for justice for their husband & father Sean, almost 30 years after his murder. The insulting treatment of Bridie & the Brown family has been nothing short of disgraceful."

“Contrast this...with DUP infighting and the desire within unionism's ranks to reopen old wounds. The pragmatists know that for unionism to prosper it ought to be confident and inclusive, but that innate tendency to look for Lundys instead of converts seems destined to win out.”

“Robinson may however look back on those moments, as well as Drumcree, & feel that the various self-inflicted blows, accompanied by Allister's onslaughts, have done much more damage to unionism than the best efforts of nationalism for quite some time.” -Noel Doran, The Irish News
