Unionists' anger over IRA medal
A police recruit wore a medal honouring the old IRA at a passing out parade in the North, it emerged today.
Ulster Unionists were outraged today that the Black and Tan medal, commemorating IRA members who fought British soldiers (known as the Black and Tans) during the 1917-21 campaign for Irish independence, was pinned to the chest of a graduate during a ceremony in November.
