Sinn Fein hunger strike commemoration condemned as insensitive

BBC Radio Ulster - The Nolan Show, Sinn Fein hunger strike commemoration condemned as insensitive

The hunger striker commemoration is planned for early August.

Will it ever be possible to remember those that died during the Troubles without upsetting others?

Sinn Féin have been accused of "insulting" the memory of those who lost their lives in South Down in the troubles, by organising a hunger striker commemoration - planned for early August.

The key speaker for the Castlewellan event will be Sinn Fein president Mary Lou McDonald.

Quoted in today's Belfast Telegraph some victims say they are saddened to see hunger strikers being glorified in their town.

Also on the programme, Businessman hits out at new West Belfast bus lanes after he shuts his deli, outrage as UK government says it would not object to the execution of two suspected Islamic State militants if they're convicted in America and is now the time for Stephen to get a dog?
