UUP councillor caught up in GAA web row
Published Date:

AN Ulster Unionist councillor has said his life has been ruined by someone impersonating him to make violent and sectarian comments on a GAA website.
Neil Armstrong, a member of Ballymena Borough Council, has had his reputation damaged by the remarks which he made clear were not made by him.
He said he had previously contributed to the www.gaaboard.com site, under the name the Bard of Dunclug, engaging in debates about the GAA and political affairs.
But this week postings began appearing in his own name, talking about killing people who contributed to the site and the "pleasure" this would involve.
Mr Armstrong - who is known inside the UUP for his liberal and non sectarian views, and an easy-going nature - said: "i honestly don't know who would do this.
"Anyone who knows me in Ballymena, whether they are nationalist or unionist, knows this is not me.
"It has just ruined my life."
