A memorial event will take place this weekend commemorating Shankill bomber Thomas Begley. The event will be held at Milltown Cemetary tomorrow. That's just four days after an event was held on the Shankill to remember those killed in 1993 when a no warning bomb exploded in Frizzell's fish shop on a busy Saturday afternoon. Some of the families of the victims of the bomb have criticised the event and described it as sickening. Sinn Fein have told this programme that the event is being organised by the family and friends of Thomas Begley and will be attended by Sinn Fein members. The party have said in the past that we all have right to remember our dead. Stephen spoke to Alliance Party leader Naomi Long, Irish News journalist Allison Morris and callers.
