Commenting on Lord Morrow's declaration of support for the Hilsborough deal, TUV chairman Ivor McConnell said:-

"Is this the same Lord Morrow who promised no policing and justice to this Assembly, but now promises to work for and support exactly that? Which Lord Morrow should we believe?

"To cover his embarrassment he now pretends the Thursday deal was different from Monday's. The only difference was the day! Lord Morrow, the strongman became the snowman and melted away - just as he did three years ago as "an Apostle" opposed to terrorists in government. Now he is an apostle of empowering Sinn Fein - the apologists for the IRA's murder of policemen and judges - on these very disciplines. 
 
"Lord Morrow used to mock John Taylor's "40 foot pole" somersault on the Belfast Agreement, but it was nothing compared to his own double twist and backflip on policing and justice.

"With his credibility shot to pieces no one will ever again take seriously anything he says."
