Sinn Fein accused of ‘amateur dramatics’ on protocol - Foyle DUP MLA Gary Middleton hits back

Nov 9, 2021

Acting Managing Editor

Welcome to your daily update from the News Letter

* The DUP has rejected Sinn Fein claims that it is guilty of “reckless and damaging” rhetoric on the NI Protocol – and has reminded republicans of the theatrics they engaged in against possible customs checks on the border.

* Survivors of the Enniskillen bombing have spoken of the “horrendous” pain and suffering they live with, on the 34th anniversary of the atrocity.

* Although just one of many unsolved IRA murders close to the Irish border in Co Fermanagh, the brutal attack on Cecil Graham, 40 years ago on Tuesday, has a wider significance.

News Letter editorial of Tuesday November 9 2021:
* Loyalists have reason to be angry but they should hold fully to non violent spirit of 1998
