Sinn Fein’s leader has insisted her comments on the murder of Lord Mountbatten did not mark a change in position of expressing sorrow for all deaths during the Troubles.
Mary Lou McDonald said comments during an interview with Times Radio on Sunday were a reiteration of her “sorry and sadness” for all deaths and injuries inflicted during the Northern Ireland conflict.
Amid uncertainty over whether she was making a specific apology for Lord Mountbatten’s killing by the IRA in 1979, Mrs McDonald was asked on Monday to clarify her remarks.
“I have never any difficulty whatsoever in expressing my profound sorrow and sadness for all death and injury in the course of the conflict,” she said.
