In Belfast
I’m in Belfast today for a meeting of the different offices of my employer Weber Shandwick.
We took time out at lunchtime to take part in the peace demonstration organised by the Irish Congress of Trade Unions outside Belfast City Hall in response to the recent murders.
I was pleased to see my own union Unite heavily represented with banners in the crowd.
It was a very impressive demonstration of the will for the peace process to continue from ordinary people in Northern Ireland, with a huge crowd assembling at short notice.
To quote ICTU Assistant General Secretary Peter Bunting who closed the rally: “there is no political cause in the North of Ireland that justifies violence”.
