'I lost my wife in the Troubles, there should be genuine concern over Brexit protocol violence.' There are growing fears after leading loyalist groups were reported to be re-evaluating truces which underpin the Good Friday Agreement.
Alan McBride, whose wife and father-in-law died during the Troubles
In March, a bomb hoax linked to the UVF forced Simon Coveney, Ireland’s Foreign Minister, to abandon a peace-building talk in Belfast, at which Mr McBride was also due to speak.“I’ve lived and suffered through the Troubles. My wife was murdered in 1993. I grew up on a loyalist housing estate and my father was in the UDA.
Mr Coveney returned to Belfast last month to resume his speech, in which he described March’s hoax as a “futile, cowardly exercise in community control.” The DUP has continued to refuse to engage in power-sharing, a precondition of Stormont’s functioning, since Sinn Fein, which supports a united Ireland, emerged as the largest party for the first time ever in May’s Assembly election.
