SDLP member blasts paramilitaries

Northern Ireland's republican and loyalist paramilitaries have been given a blunt message by an SLDP assembly member that there is no role for them in a new Ireland.

Northern Ireland's republican and loyalist paramilitaries have been given a blunt message by an SLDP assembly member that there is no role for them in a new Ireland.

SDLP Assembly member, Carmel Hanna, said paramilitaries have never played a positive role in the North, and the party wants to see the back of them.

She hit out at loyalists saying the bitter feud between the UDA and Johnny 'Mad Dog' Adair should be dropped immediately.

She then described the IRA as a "wholly undemocratic, unelected organisation".
