Ex-prisoner among SF nominees for Policing Board seats
Sinn Féin has included a former long-serving republican prisoner among the nominees for its three seats on the North's Policing Board.
Martina Anderson will join Alec Maskey and North Antrim Assembly member Daithi McKay as the Sinn Féin representatives on the oversight body.
Ms Anderson, from Derry, spent more than 10 years in British jails on conspiracy and explosives charges.
She is now responsible for Sinn Féin's outreach programme to unionists.
The republican party is due to take up its seats on the Policing Board when devolution is restored at Stormont on May 8.
