Audio interview with Conor Murphy, Sinn Fein MP for Newry and Armagh, by Wendy Austin for BBC Radio Ulster Talkback on 9 November 2012. On the previous evening Michael Martin, leader of Fianna Fail, criticised Sinn Fein’s approach to policing. He claimed that Sinn Fein had shown double standards in its policing policy when protesting against the arrest of Padraig Wilson in relation to the death of Robert McCartney while simultaneously calling for public co-operation with the PSNI over the killing of David Black. Murphy responds to Michael Martin’s critique of Sinn Fein’s stance on policing. Talkback is BBC Radio Ulster’s daily afternoon phone-in programme.
