Police board threat: McGuinness dismisses 'moronl republicans

Sinn Féin’s Martin McGuinness today denounced as “mindless morons” those hard-line republicans who have been threatening Catholic members of local policing boards.

As security forces dealt with another suspect device at the home of a district policing partnership member in Sion Mills in Co Tyrone, the Mid Ulster MP stood by a Sinn Féin decision to hold a protest tonight outside a meeting of the board she served on.
