Audio interview with Fearghal McKinney, SDLP MLA for Belfast South, by Stephen Nolan for BBC Radio Ulster The Nolan Show on 16 September 2013. In December 2012 Newry and Mourne Council named a children's play park after Raymond McCreesh, a decision which prompted criticism within the unionist community. Following these objections the Equality Commission began an investigation into the Council’s decision. In advance of the Equality Commission’s ruling on the issue, McKinney states his objection to the naming of the park after McCreesh. The Nolan Show is a daily current affairs programme on BBC Radio Ulster.
