Sister of Lyra McKee calls for compromise at Stormont

Q Newsdesk

The sister of murdered journalist Lyra McKee has called for compromise at Stormont.

Fresh talks have been talking place this week in the latest attempt to get devolution back up and running.

The Executive collapsed almost three years ago and Sinn Fein and the DUP have been in deadlock ever since.

29-year-old Lyra was killed by a New IRA gunman as she observed rioting in the Creggan area of Derry/Londonderry in April.

Her sister Nichola Corner says it's time politicians here reached a deal, for the benefit of all people here:

Nichola had previously spoken during a rally at Stormont, marking 1,000 days since the collapse of devolution.
