SF protest at release of bugging transcripts

Sinn Fein has protested to Downing Street over transcripts of alleged bugged telephone conversations involving Martin McGuinness and senior figures in British Prime Minister Tony Blair’s Government, the Mid-Ulster MP revealed today.

Mr McGuinness described as “disgraceful” the release of discussions he had with Prime Minister Tony Blair’s chief of staff Jonathan Powell, Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams and former Northern Ireland Secretary Mo Mowlam in several newspapers.
