Following the shooting of a journalist last night by the "new" IRA, the spokesman for "old" IRA playing a blinder on twitter:

The "political wing" of the group who claimed responsibility for the above murder were on parade at the weekend, prompting some jokes about their fitness for combat.

If only it were that simple; you don't have to be particularly fit to fire into a crowd from a distance.

4 people finally arrested for this. Often the way in NI.

Lyra McKee: four men arrested over killing of journalist in Derry​

The four men, aged 19, 20, 21 and 33, were arrested under the Terrorism Act 2006 on Wednesday morning. They were in the Derry area, and are now being questioned at Musgrave police station in Belfast.

DSI Jason Murphy: “These arrests are the culmination of a detailed two-year investigation into Lyra’s murder and the events which preceded it. The local community have supported the Police Service of Northern Ireland throughout the course of this protracted investigation and I wish to thank them for their continued support.”

One man, Paul McIntyre, 53, from the Creggan area of Derry, has already been charged with McKee’s murder. He denies the charge. Another man has been charged with rioting and other offences related to the night of the shooting.

McKee, 29, one of Northern Ireland’s most promising young journalists, was shot dead as she observed rioting in the Creggan area on 18 April 2019.

The New IRA, a dissident republican group, admitted responsibility and apologised, saying its gunman had been aiming at police.

This is unusual in murder trials:

Judge Barney McElholm granted the defendants bail and ordered them to return to court on 7 October.

No explanation in the article as to why bail was granted.
