STORMONT LATEST: (THIS MORNING/TUESDAY)-
SINN FEIN SLAMS THE DUP OVER THEIR LINKS WITH ULSTER RESISTANCE:
Today marks the 40th Anniversary of the founding of Ulster Resistance at the Ulster Hall in Belfast.
In the Assembly at Stormont this morning, Cathy Mason of Sinn Fein said that today families of victims are coming together at St Comgalls to reassert their right to truth and justice.
In her own community of Loughinisland, the weapons used to kill 6 innocent people were from a shipment of weapons from South Africa for Ulster Resistance.
Six innocent Catholics were murdered in the Heights Bar in Loughinisland while watching a Republic of Ireland World Cup match on television in June 1994. They included 87 year old Barney Green.
Cathy Mason said that that senior members of the DUP were in attendance at the formation of Ulster Resistance in the Ulster Hall in November 1986 (and that they included Sammy Wilson and Nigel Dodds).
She said the DUP (and in particular Sammy Wilson, Nigel Dodds and Peter Robinson) need to answer fundamental questions for families to get the truth.
-"When will they disclose what they knew to the PSNI? What did they know about the procurement of those weapons and where are those weapons now?"
"Many of those weapons still remain unaccounted for".

40 years ago, Ulster Resistance was established with the involvement & public support of senior DUP figures.
Today, I spoke at the launch of a report examining Ulster Resistance’s establishment, the weapons it acquired & the devastating consequences that followed.
Those families whose loved ones were murdered with weapons imported by Ulster Resistance are still waiting for answers. They deserve enormous credit for refusing to give up.
Between 1988 & 1994, at least 98 people were murdered using Ulster Resistance weapons, including in sectarian loyalist attacks on Catholic & nationalist communities.
Will the DUP leader Gavin Robinson help these families get answers about the DUP’s involvement in Ulster Resistance & the imported weapons?
That means answering serious questions about the roles of senior DUP figures at the time, including Ian Paisley, Peter Robinson, Sammy Wilson & Jim Allister, among others.

And what of the Ulster Resistance weaponry? Any word? Has anyone asked?

The arts remain central to many of our lives including remembering the legacy of the past and recording lived experiences. So it's very disappointing that @ArtsCouncilNI has failed to help fund the highly anticipated/important #McGurks play by Martin Lynch hotpress.com/culture/martin-…

Following a review hearing this morning, the trial of UVF gunman Laurence Maguire for conspiracy to murder Eamonn, Liam, Gerard, and Rory Cairns in October 1992 has been provisionally moved forward to begin October 12, 2026 (pending a review hearing next Friday). Maguire pleaded not guilty to a litany of charges on July 6, 2026.
Our thoughts, as always, are with Sheila, Eamonn, Liam, Póla, Roisín, Dualtach, Barra, Faílenn, Rory Óg, and the wider Cairns clan. Almost 33 years since Gerard and Rory’s murder, the Cairns family continue in their pursuit of justice with such dignity and strength as they navigate these arduous processes.

Disappointedly, Arts Council NI turned down the play for a much needed grant in its final stages, so the great public has stepped up to help us raise funds we need. The show will go on!
