Colum Eastwood in tribute to former party colleague Seamus Mallon

Jan 27, 2020, 12:23 PM

The funeral of Northern Ireland's former deputy first minister, Seamus Mallon, will take place later today in County Armagh.

Mr Mallon died aged 83 on Friday. As deputy leader of the SDLP from 1979 to 2001, Mr Mallon was described as one of the architects of the peace process - even though he told BBC Northern Ireland in an interview last year that given another chance he'd do some things differently.

Stephen spoke to current SDLP leader and MP Colum Eastwood.
