I accept everyone can have a past and can change but Sean Kelly has shown no remorse for murdering nine innocent people, including two children, in the Shankill bomb.

Do the SDLP endorse his involvement in support of their pact?

Given the SDLP/Sinn Fein electoral pact, will Sean Kelly be welcome in South Belfast by Claire Hanna?

Column Eastwood must clarify.

The SDLP and Sinn Fein will stoop to any depth to damage the DUP.

Claire Hanna may hope to benefit from the SDLP/SF pact but the SDLP in South Down and Foyle certainly will not benefit.

Unionists will be very wary of endorsing this pact.
