Failure would betray Lyra’s memory: Hain
Former Secretary of State, Peter Hain, has said politicians will betray the memory of the late Lyra McKee if they fail to do a deal and get power-sharing up and running.
The Labour Party peer said it would be a “shameful betrayal of the fine memory of Lyra McKee if the parties - both the DUP and Sinn Féin - do not bear in mind what she stood for and reach an agreement”.
He said the next British Prime Minister needed to be personally involved in the power-sharing talks.
“He must get directly involved and convene a summit, because that is sometimes the only way to crack these problems,” he said.
