Apology from Lyra McKee's killers branded 'remorseless' and disgraceful' by SDLP leader Colum Eastwood
Mr. Eastwood commented: "This morning's statement from the 'New IRA' is an absolute disgrace and shows no remorse for the death of Lyra McKee.
"Their so called instruction to their 'volunteers' to 'take the utmost care' when engaging in violence is utterly sickening and devoid of any humanity. They must recognise the glaringly obvious fact they are not wanted by the people of the North. It is time to disband.
