I was at the west Belfast talks back this evening, which was very well attended. It had a great panel and an audience that wasn't afraid to speak out and hold politicians to account. I admired Ian Paisley junior for coming in to such a nationalist strong hold and putting his views forward. On most questions he was forcefull and articulate. There was some cracking comedy from a member of the hole in the wall gang who read out a message sent to the festival from Red Hand Luke. More on that later, for now heres Barry McElduff on the topic of victims.

'Good policing arrangements should see us through'
Yesterdays hungerstrike march in Belfast passed off relatively peacefully, and according to the Irish News from today the people behind the parade and the unionist community spokesperson were not seeking conflict with each other, but each had a point to make.
On the side of the community they were interested in highlighting what they see as double standards from republicans over the parades issue. On the side of the marchers , they merely wanted to commerate their dead.
