Hume: Send right message to Europe

Voters in Northern Ireland need to think what message it would send out to the rest of the European Union if the North elected Democratic Unionist and Sinn Féin MEPs, John Hume said today.

As his party continued its final push for votes for SDLP candidate Martin Morgan ahead of Thursday's poll, the former MEP claimed that the parties of Gerry Adams and Ian Paisley would lack any influence in Strasbourg and Brussels.
