Paul Givan defends meeting with loyalist paramilitaries

The education minister has defended holding a meeting with the Loyalist Communities Council (LCC) about a proposal to build an Irish language school in east Belfast.

Paul Givan met the LCC, which includes representatives from paramilitary groups the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) and Ulster Defence Association (UDA), on 24 September.

He has been criticised for meeting “an unrepresentative group, an unelected group” of loyalists.

Sinn Féin assembly member Pat Sheehan made the comments during a meeting of Stormont’s education committee.
