Martin McGuinness - from paramilitary to peacebuilder
Sinn Fein leader Martin McGuinness, Northern Ireland's former deputy first minister, has died aged 66. It is understood he had been suffering from a rare heart condition.
Sinn Fein leader Martin McGuinness, Northern Ireland's former deputy first minister, has died aged 66. It is understood he had been suffering from a rare heart condition. He was a former IRA leader turned peacemaker who made a remarkable journey from guns to government. Some cannot see past his former life as a terrorist and IRA commander. Others see him as Sinn Fein's chief negotiator, who took bold steps to build peace. On Nolan today we got reaction from DUP MP Ian Pailsey, UUP MLA Mike Nesbitt, SDLP MLA Colum Eastwood, Alliance MLA Naomi Long, TUV MLA Jim Allister, Lord Tebbit and Alastair Campbell.
