Description | Video interview with Alex Maskey, former Lord Mayor of Belfast, by Jim Fitzpatrick for BBC Northern Ireland Stormont Live on 2 June 2009. On 24 May Kevin McDaid, a Catholic community worker in Coleraine, was killed by a mob outside his home following televised football matches involving Celtic and Rangers. His Protestant wife and two neighbours were also injured in the attacks, which the PSNI described as sectarian in nature.
