THE DUP is maintaining its silence over controversial remarks made by a party councillor about a group of asylum seekers in Carrickfergus.
The party has also not signed an online petition launched on Friday in response to what have branded "vile" comments made by Marc Collins in relation to 30 asylum seekers housed in the Loughshore Hotel in the Co Antrim town.
Politicians including Alliance leader Naomi Long, SDLP MP Claire Hanna, Green Party leader Clare Bailey and People Before Profit MLA Gerry Carroll as well as a number of councillors are among around 700 signatories to the Amnesty International (NI) petition.
