Description

This is a Good Evening Ulster report by Ivan Little on a violent confrontation between DUP supporters, councillors and Assembly members and Tom King, secretary of state for Northern Ireland. With King due to arrive at Belfast City Hall for a banquet, a group of protestors, including Jim Wells, Nigel Dodds and Jim Allister, blocked the back entrance to cars. When word reached the protestors that King had instead arrived at a side entrance, they ran to confront him.
