Battle lines drawn over history of local statues - this time over statue of republican hero and committed supporter of slavery

This week Sinn Fein councillor Jim McVeigh referred to Queen Victoria as "the famine queen". He asked if there's a statue of the monarch at City Hall - why not James Connolly? Now former culture minister Nelson McCausland has urged republicans to take a look at some of their own historical monuments. He cites a statue of a former republican MP John Mitchel in Newry - a supporter of slavery in the United States during the civil war. Is it time to remove these statues - or stop trying to judge historical figures by the values we hold today? Tara got the views of former DUP MLA Nelson McCausland and the commentator Chris Donnelly.
