Political VoicesGerry Kelly is a Sinn Fein MLA for north Belfast.Gerry Kelly

The loyalists I spoke to in the Ardoyne this morning said this was not an attack on children. We would be totally opposed to the blast bomb attack on the children. They said the children were well away from the bomb, they do not see it as a blast bomb attack on children and their parents.

They were throwing stones, throwing bottles, you know - to try and convince people that the blast bomb attack was not on the children is perhaps a moot point. The fact was the children were being intimidated and to finish your point that you put to Nigel Dodds earlier, the whistle-blowing is still intimidating of the children, although I have to say this. If you were asking is there an improvement between Monday and through to today, then quite obviously there is an improvement. But it is still intimidating for children to walk up through a tunnel of noise.
