Victimes relatives speak to reporters at Stormont

By Q Radio News

More families of those killed by State forces during the Troubles are calling on the Secretary of State, Karen Bradley to step down.

Many are refusing to accept an apology after Ms.Bradley told the Commons killings by police and the military here during the Troubles were not crimes.

She's since admitted that's wrong, and says it was a 'slip of the tongue' - and not what she intended to say.
