Shane said there was an alternative to IRA violence during the Troubles.
Mary Lou McDonald attending events as Taoiseach that commemorate the IRA would be “appalling”, Shane Coleman has said.
In the wake of the controversy, Ms McDonald said she would do her best to unite people if elected leader of the country.“If I were to be Taoiseach, if I had the privilege of leading a Government, I will be a Taoiseach for everybody,” she said. Ms McDonald did caveat that she would continue to attend the annual ceremony honouring those who fought in the 1916 Rising outside the GPO.
“They [Sinn Féin] have done it very successfully; the narrative now is there was ‘no alternative’ to the Troubles.Shane said it was particularly important given the IRA considered the Irish State to be its enemy at various points during its history.
