'Loyalist feuds must be tackled', warns O'Donnell

Unionist politicians were today urged to get a grip on the escalating loyalist paramilitary feud before it undermines efforts to ensure a peaceful summer in east Belfast.

Sinn Féin councillor Joe O’Donnell said nationalists in the east of the city were concerned by the feud between the Ulster Volunteer Force and Loyalist Volunteer Force, which has already claimed the life of one man and led to a series of attacks on rival factions.
