Priest at Lyra McKee funeral did not go far enough in criticising politicians!
I commend the powerful words of Father Martin Magill at Lyra McKee’s funeral: “Why in the name of God does it take the cowardly murder of a young woman, with all her life ahead of her, to bring all our politicians together?”
It is a pity he didn’t finish by saying: “Now is the time for our two main parties to forget about their red lines and get back to Stormont and defend their red lines democratically, in the parliament, like a real Government should.
“Forget about your selfish agenda! Get back to Stormont, do the job you are paid to do!”
The congregation would still be clapping had he said so.
