Support anti-sectarianism rally

Statement from Danny Mc Brearty, National Chairperson of the Republican Network for Unity;

“On the day which sees the funeral of Coleraine Community worker Kevin Mc Daid, I welcome and fully support tomorrows initiative by West Belfast Community Groups to rally in support of the Mc Daid family, and all victims of the scourge of sectarianism.

As Republicans and Socialists our base position is to oppose sectarianism in whatever way it manifests itself, through word, employment discrimination, physical attack or murder.

Accordingly, we in the Republican Network for Unity will be supporting tomorrows rally, 12:30pm at Belfast City Hall, and would urge all those who support an individuals right to live their lives free from sectarian attack to show this by their attendance I also call upon Patricia Mc Keown, President of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions, Party and Church leaders to show consistency by publicly endorsing tomorrows rally at Belfast City Hall.”
