Robinson condemns parade to commemorate IRA bombers

A Sinn Féin-backed parade to commemorate two IRA bombers in the Co Tyrone town they were intending to target is insensitive and inappropriate, Stormont’s First Minister has said.

But while Democratic Unionist leader Peter Robinson heavily criticised proposals for the event in Castlederg next month, Sinn Féin Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness insisted people of all traditions in the region had a right to honour their dead.
