Sinn Fein took aim at the DUP and the Government’s ending of the eviction ban during an event held to mark the anniversary of the 1916 Easter Rising.

Speaking at a republican plot at Milltown Cemetery in Belfast, MP John Finucane noted the 25th anniversary for the Good Friday Agreement, which he said was “an historic, international success story” and “should never ever be taken for granted”.
