Mr. Glyn Roberts:

The Belfast Telegraph, in particular, has stepped up to the plate. All our local newspapers have tried to cover the story in a responsible way. It does not help to have had so many international media in Northern Ireland over the past few weeks beaming abroad pictures of riots and violence. We all know how difficult it is to attract foreign direct investment. The images being beamed across the world do us absolutely no favours at all. They lead to the widespread misconception that the whole of Northern Ireland is like this. I would not be surprised if there were a knock-on effect throughout the island of Ireland. Obviously, bad news sells in the media.
