SF to raise discovery of bug with head of European Parliament

Sinn Féin’s two MEPs are to raise the discovery of a bugging device at the party’s Belfast headquarters with the president of the European Parliament.

Northern MEP Bairbre de Brun and Dublin MEP Mary Lou McDonald said the discovery of the bug was further proof that elements of the British system were undermining the peace process.

They want European Parliament president Josep Borrell to bring the matter to the attention of a conference of EU presidents tomorrow.
