The First Minister of Northern Ireland also laid a wreath to mark the deaths of three IRA men killed by their own bomb while on a murder mission in my hometown of Magherafelt some 53 years ago. The IRA stated they were on active service at the time, but that night, by their own hands, their active service ended. With such glorification of terrorism, how can our community move forward to the peace and prosperity for which our hearts crave? What message does that give to our young people, over which these elected leaders have influence? No wonder young people are happy to shout “Up the Ra”. Indeed, the Celtic supporters unveiled a tribute to McFarlane during the Celtic v Aberdeen match last night in the Scottish Premier League.
