00:00What is your reaction to the violence that we saw on the streets of Belfast last night?
00:04Do you condemn it? And what is your message to anybody who might be considering taking to the streets later
00:10today?
00:10Of course, we always condemn any violence, violent protest or whatever.
00:16It's completely unacceptable, along with all politicians of all different stripes.
00:23Lawful protest is, of course, something that is a vital part of a democracy,
00:28but everybody has to understand that there is a huge difference between expressing one's concern for what is going on
00:38lawfully, peacefully, respectfully,
00:41and violence, criminal activities, the fires we saw last night, damage to public property, totally and utterly unacceptable.
