Victims of republican violence concern over £1m funding earmarked for museum containing controversial exhibits

Jan 17, 2020, 11:20 AM

There has been anger from victims and unionist politicians about the display of some items in a republican museum in Belfast 

Some of the exhibits at the Roddy McCorley Society include a soldier’s rifle 
found near the site of the IRA bombing at Narrow water and a pair of Colonel Gaddafi’s shoes. 

The Society has had funding of £1 million pounds 'agreed in principle'
from Belfast City Council.

The Nolan show can reveal this morning that the soldier's rifle has now been confiscated by the police.
