More than 100 participate in dissident republican Easter Rising commemoration in Belfast
They were led by a colour party of members wearing black trousers, white shirts, black berets and sun glasses, who were in turn led by a band.
If the New IRA was responsible it should acknowledge “what was a very tragic incident”, said Mr Kenna. Mr Kenna said if police wanted to conduct a raid based on intelligence-led information “well perhaps they should have done that at six o’clock in the morning when there would be no young people on the streets”.
Asked was it not inappropriate to hold the Milltown parade in the context of Ms McKee’s killing Mr Kenna said, “The Free State government in Dublin had a commemoration at the GPO on Easter Sunday to commemorate 1916 Rising. We are republicans and we have every right to commemorate the men and women of 1916.”
