Unionist MEP calls for European intervention on Republican parades

A Unionist MEP from Northern Ireland has called on the European Commission to take action against Republican parades.

Diane Dodds from the DUP says the annual parade in Castlederg, to commemorate two members of the IRA, is an insult to its victims.

The parade commemorates two IRA members who were killed by the premature explosion of their own bomb in 1973.

Mrs Dodds is asking the European Commission to take action against the parades, saying the parades are a "gross insult" to the victims of terrorism.
