Terrorism and tourism - controversy over peace line walk hosted by former paramilitary prisoners

Northern Ireland's troubled past has become a major tourist attraction in recent years, but a new political tour hosted by former republican and loyalist prisoners has been described as warped by relatives of troubles victims as reported in the Belfast Telegraph. The £18 tour called conflicting stories is described as a walk led by "republican and loyalist ex-political prisoners" and says: "We invite you to walk the streets of the city on both sides of the peace line with the men and women who risked life and liberty and served time in prison for standing up for their beliefs." Is that language legitimising past violence and those who carried it out? Or is it simply underlining the fact that the Troubles had a political cause? Stephen got the views of commentator Malachi O'Doherty, Kenny Donaldson from Innocent Victims United and former Republican prisoner and writer Tim Brannigan.
