TUV, SDLP and UUP host victims commemoration at Stormont

Alan has a post on the Alternative Ms. Ulster event hosted by Steven Agnew at Stormont on Sunday complete with the inspiring / daring / indecent, speech/ behaviour by Ms. Park. In contrast yesterday the UUP, SDLP and TUV hosted the third annual day of remembrance for victims of terrorism.

120 people attended and three people spoke: Michelle Nixon who has been caring for her brother since he was seriously injured in 1979 by an IRA bomb in Rosslea; June McMullan whose husband John Proctor was murdered by IRA terrorist Seamus Martin Kearney in 1981 in the grounds of the Mid Ulster Hospital in Magherafelt and Thomas Boswell who survived a murder bid by the INLA in Belfast aged 18.
