Sharing power with a party that wants to destroy Northern Ireland

(Mr Allister’s article can he read here: ‘Republicans long ago concluded that having bought into eternal power sharing unionists have nowhere else to go’)

Sinn Fein are confident that the DUP will puff and blow for a day or two before huddling round the table again with those whose aim is the destruction of Northern Ireland.

Fine Gael Senator Seery Kearney has again raised the issue of Sinn Fein continuing to sell PIRA memorabilia online, in clear celebration of that organisation’s bloody past.

The 2006 St Andrews Agreement committed all parties to exclusively peaceful and democratic means.

If this rules out glorification of terrorist atrocities, why is the DUP still in government with Sinn Fein?
