Ian Paisley will not attend murdered schoolboy’s funeral

THE Rev Ian Paisley will not attend the funeral of a Catholic schoolboy murdered in his North Antrim constituency, it emerged last night.

The DUP leader visited the grieving family of Michael McIlveen in the Dunvale area of Ballymena at the weekend.

But it is understood that the Rev Paisley was travelling to London last night ahead of Northern Ireland business in the House of Commons today.
