Decision over Bobby Storey funeral due to be released by PPS
A decision on whether anyone will be prosecuted over the Bobby Storey funeral will be released today by the Public Prosecution Service.
The PPS say it's one of four files they have been examining over potential offences under the Health Protection (Coronavirus Restrictions) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2020.
Outrage followed scenes of mass gatherings on June 30th 2020 at the veteran republican's funeral despite restrictions as part of the coronavirus regulations.
And there was further upset over access granted to Roselawn on a day when eight other families were denied access due to pandemic measures.
Belfast City Council apologised to those families.
Sinn Fein party president Mary Lou McDonald and Deputy First Minister Michelle O'Neill were among high-profile party members in attendance at the service and later commemoration event at Milltown cemetery.
Ms O'Neill in particular has faced strong criticism from political rivals in Northern Ireland, given her role as the joint head of a Stormont Executive that has been instructing people to limit the size of funerals during the lockdown.
