Speaking at Stormont on Monday he said: “I appreciate the need for entirely innocent victims not to be subjected to unnecessary questioning.

“However, given that there are those who are not so innocent, such as the deputy First Minister himself in the distant past, how does he feel about owning up to the atrocities that he engaged in as part of a truth recovery process to try to help bring others forward into 2014 with an understanding that people with blood on their hands are prepared to own up and accept the part that they played in the past?”

Mr McGuinness replied: “The definition of a victim is very clear and has been set down in legislation since 2006.”
