Loyalist paramilitary organisations - UVF, UDA and Red Hand Commando - announce full support for rule of law. @ChiefConPSNI joins @StephenNolan in studio

Northern Ireland's three loyalist paramilitary organisations - the UVF, UDA and Red Hand Commando - held a press conference yesterday to announce they fully support the rule of law. Three former protestant church leaders shared the platform to support and deliver the announcement, including Archbishop Alan Harper the former Church of Ireland primate. UDA leader, Jackie McDonald said later that not everyone in the loyalist community would agree with their stance. But the country's top police officer, Chief Constable George Hamilton has said we shouldn't be having statements about how loyalist paramilitaries are "going to be slightly less bad in the future" and said they should "just go away". The Chief Constable joined Stephen in the studio this morning.
