SF debate memorial for IRA woman shot by SAS

The Northern Assembly’s governing body launched a fresh effort today to make a decision on whether to ban a controversial Stormont memorial for an IRA woman shot dead by the SAS in Gibraltar.

Members of the cross-party Assembly Commission have failed at a series of three meetings to reach agreement on the Sinn Féin plan to commemorate the life of Mairead Farrell since the thorny issue was referred to them last week.
