Rumours abound that Derry SDLP duo Mark Durkan MP and his nephew, Mark H Durkan MLA and NI Minister for the Environment went toe to toe in a city centre bar on Saturday night.

Both men are believed to have attended a family christening in the City Hotel on Saturday and later moved on to Tinney’s Bar on Patrick Street. They have both denied the story on social media.

Mark H can throw a punch in fairness, as evidenced in a charity fight in 2012.

Meanwhile, the NI Minister for the Environment in yesterday’s Sunday Journal asked the public to be more considerate of others in relation to noise and anti-social behaviour:

“Noise is a serious issue that can seriously affect our health and wellbeing and interfere with our daily lives. I would ask everyone to be mindful of the impact their behaviour may be having on their neighbours, fellow citizens and community.”

In a statement, Óglaigh na hÉireann has called on the SDLP to end its campaign of violence and to disband.

  5. The bringer of facts

    We have enough to worry about in our own actual country, let’s not worry about “them up there”.

    How are the Welsh getting on?? As relevant.

    Or is this the one time where if we all close our eyes and hold our passports really tight Northern Ireland becomes part of his country for a few minutes??

    FFS.

      Surely the very fact you are getting a bit touchy and exasperated about this post proves you wrong.

      If this really was merely a post about two Welsh politicians fighting then you would have commented ‘this is relevant’ or not commented at all.

      “FFS” definitely shows emotion. Maybe this is the emotion that shows some depth of relationship between people north and south of the border, that you may or may not be conscious of.
