"Madam President, from my experience of communities living under threat in Northern Ireland, I can tell Members of this House that there is no number of bombs, bullets, or callous acts of terrorism that can hope to uproot democracy or destroy a free and fair way of life.
Like the Provisional IRA in my constituency, ISIS can and will be defeated. The starting point in the fight against radicalisation should be everyone, in each of our societies, coming together to call out these barbarians for what they are. We should be unequivocal in our condemnation. There are Members of Sinn Féin in this Parliament. Only last week, their party colleague in Northern Ireland openly said that he did not consider ISIS to be terrorists. Shameful. In the aftermath of the Paris attacks, I would call on the Sinn Féin MEPs in this House to apologise to our French colleagues for the offence caused by these despicable comments. We must aim to combat radicalism via the internet and support agencies on a national and a pan-national basis with adequate resources and budgets to combat this evil.
Moreover, the EU must put in place every safeguard to ensure that the road to radicalisation is not nurtured by directly supporting revisionism. In my own constituency we witnessed the complete misuse of European peace funds by the Tí Chulainn Centre in South Armagh, where children were photographed in terrorist garb and holding imitation weapons. That is wrong; it ought not to happen and it is important that it should never happen again."@en1
