SDLP led the way on police accountability

IT is welcome that the Taoiseach has recognised how the SDLP “led the way for the nationalist community” on the issue of policing.

The SDLP, the Irish Government and the Catholic Church showed positive leadership in supporting the Patten report recommendations.

Since then, it is the SDLP that has done the heavy lifting on the Police Board and in the process to ensure the police are fully accountable.
