A priest who received a standing ovation for criticising politicians at a Northern Ireland funeral has appealed for more movement towards unity.
Father Martin Magill made his comments to Al Jazeera before local council elections this week. He has received a groundswell of support after asking why it took the funeral of a female journalist killed by dissident Republicans for politicians to come together, two years after a power-sharing agreement broke down.
Al Jazeera’s Andrew Simmons reports from Northern Ireland.
