AN Ulster Unionist Assemblyman has called on Sinn Fein to explain why he had to step in and represent Stormont’s Culture and Sport Committee during Thursday night’s reception for Ireland’s Grand Slam-winning rugby team.
Strangford MLA David McNarry, who is deputy chairman of the committee, attended Hillsborough Castle because the committee’s Sinn Fein chairman, Barry McElduff, was unable to attend.

Sinn Fein Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness said that he did not attend the event because it was organised by the British Government, rather than by the Assembly.

Mr McNarry said it was wrong for Sinn Fein to object to the Queen congratulating the players when Irish President Mary McAleese, who also attended the function, is a frequent visitor to Northern Ireland.

“If it is true that Sinn Fein were snubbing Her Majesty, then that sets back relationships.”
