A man who divided opinion in life and death. We have a look back at some key moments in the life of Martin McGuinness. From the IRA to our deputy first minister.
A man who divided opinion in life and death. We have a look back at some key moments in the life of Martin McGuinness. From the IRA to our deputy first minister. The assembly will be recalled for a special sitting to remember Martin McGuinness later today. Vigils were held in Belfast, Londonderry and Dublin last night to remember him and thousands turned out to accompany his coffin to his family home in Derry yesterday. But his death continues to divide opinion. In loyalist Sandy Row in Belfast a bonfire was built as they celebrated his death. Some cannot see past his former life as a terrorist and IRA commander. Others see him as Sinn Fein's chief negotiator who took bold steps to build peace. Stephen spoke to journalist Ruth Dudley Edwards, former Victims Commissioner Patricia MacBride, former US Senator George Mitchell, former NI secretary of state Shaun Woodward and we took your calls.
