Dickson disgusted by reports of gunmen at funeral

Alliance Justice spokesperson, Stewart Dickson MLA, has expressed his concern following reports of masked gunmen firing shots at the funeral of a republican in North Belfast on Thursday night. Images appeared online which showed two gunmen fire shots at the funeral of Seamus McLaughlin.

Stewart Dickson MLA said: “I am deeply disgusted at the reports of shots being fired during this funeral in a residential area. The Police must fully investigate this incident.

“Masked gunmen have no place in our society. There should not be any acceptance of any type of paramilitary display.

“If anybody has any information about this incident then I would urge them to contact the Police.”
