Sinn Fein's Gerry Kelly

Friday July 17 2009

Sinn Fein's Gerry Kelly has denied that the people behind rioting in Belfast this week were merely repeating what he and his party did during the Troubles.

Mr Kelly has been severely critical of the dissident republicans blamed for orchestrating three nights of rioting in Ardoyne following a loyalist parade in the area on Monday.

However, he has denied that Sinn Fein was doing the exact same thing during the Troubles.

Mr Kelly says local residents were opposed to this week's violence, which he says was carried out by people from outside the Ardoyne area.

He also says it was a miracle that one of the rioters didn't get killed.
