Statement by Cardinal Brady in response to confirmation of UDA decommissioning
Our once divided and violent society has come a long way in recent years. I hope today’s news will spur us all on to work together to address the social and economic needs of our society, especially of those communities most disadvantaged by years of violence.
My first thoughts however are for those for whom the news of UDA decommissioning will evoke painful memories and raise many unanswered questions about the violence of the past. They are uppermost in my prayers today.
ENDS
