Bobby Storey’s funeral was no surprise — such republican funerals have taken place over the past three months and nothing has been done

These types of funerals have taken place over the past three months throughout Northern Ireland and nothing has been done.

A section of our community disregard the law and display a lack of concern for their neighbours as they have done for years.

The leaders of the main churches have been silent. Why?

There is no likelihood of significant action by the DUP; it is time this farce at Stormont was stopped and direct rule was demanded.

By attending the funeral of Martin McGuinness, who gave an undertaking to Mrs Hegarty that if her son returned he would not be harmed and that man had him killed, how can Mrs Foster have any credibility in this issue?
