Sara Canning gave her reaction to a Sky News interview with the leader of a political group allegedly linked to the New IRA.

The partner of Lyra McKee, the journalist shot dead in Northern Ireland earlier this year, has condemned what she regards as an attempt to justify her murder.

She said:"Lyra's murder wasn't regrettable...it was despicable and the fact of the matter is, no one should have been shot that night, no one's life should have been lost, no one is a legitimate target anymore.
