Published:

Audio interview with Jeffrey Donaldson, DUP MP for Lagan Valley, and Jim Wilson, East Belfast community worker, by Stephen Nolan for BBC Radio Ulster The Nolan Show on 29 November 2013. One day earlier Seamus Kearney was found guilty of killing John Proctor, a reserve police constable, in September 1981. Public criticism arose over Sinn Fein’s description of the prosecution as vindictive and the likelihood of a reduced sentence for Kearney of two years under the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement. Donaldson and Wilson discuss the case and the wider issues of victims, legal prosecutions and public enquiries. The Nolan Show is a daily current affairs programme on BBC Radio Ulster.
