Sinn Féin’s attempts to “not just justify, but to celebrate” the actions of the IRA during the Troubles are ‘reprehensible' - Micheál Martin.
Sinn Féin’s attempts to “not just justify, but to celebrate” the actions of the IRA during the Troubles are ‘reprehensible,’ the Tánaiste has told The Pat Kenny Show., Micheál Martin doubled down on his insistence that Sinn Féin cannot ‘ride two horses’ when it comes to Northern Ireland’s violent past.
“But worse, the narrative that is increasingly emerging of endeavouring to, not just justify, but to celebrate this as some great war to secure freedom for people is, I think, reprehensible and I think is doing damage to relationships on these islands. “There needs to be a moment of truth there because I think younger generations need to know that violence is not something that should be readily considered or celebrated or that there should be any degree of triumphalism around or indeed justification of, when clearly, justification in and around what happened so many people in Northern Ireland, who were the victims of appalling bombings and murder and so on [is not acceptable],” he said.
