Statement from Sinn Féin MLA Martina Anderson

Martina Anderson said: 

“I apologise unreservedly for the hurt and offence caused by my tweet to people who suffered serious harm during the conflict here. 

“My comments were clumsy and were not directed at them and it was never my intention to cause them any hurt. 

“All victims of the conflict deserve acknowledgement of their pain and loss and I support them in their efforts to get their pension.”

After committing to the Occupied Territories Bill during the election the Government have now walked away.

This blatant u-turn is a cynical and monumental act of bad faith.

No more excuses, no more prevarication, enact the Occupied Territories Bill now!

The DUP Education Minister oversaw £710,000 in funding for a state-of-the-art pitch at a school already overflowing with facilities, while many other schools struggle.

This decision smacks of cronyism.

Sinn Féin will continue to hold the Minister to account.
