Clergyman defends speech to Sinn Féin ard fheis

A Protestant clergyman who became the first from the North to address Sinn Féin's ard fheis has today told critics he wanted to help communities "move out of the past".

Presbyterian minister Reverend David Latimer, who has struck up a friendship in Derry with Martin McGuinness, embraced the Sinn Féin politician at the event and hailed him as one of the "true great leaders of modern times".
