Northern Ireland’s Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness has said dissident republican paramilitaries have little or no support in the community and should pack up and go away.
He was speaking in Derry a day after the funeral of Emmett Shiels whose killing has been blamed on a dissident group.
Mr McGuinness was at parade in Derry to remember IRA members from the city who died during the troubles.
Martin McGuinness recalled how he had joined the paramilitary group in his youth and said it was then supported by the people.
In an address at the city cemetery, he sent out a clear message to dissident republican groups, which have carried out a number of recent attacks.
22-year-old Emmett Shiels was shot in the Creggan area of the city in the early hours of Tuesday morning. His funeral took place yesterday.
A 19-year-old man who was being questioned in connection with his murder has been released without charge
Another man who was arrested as part of the investigation into the death was released on Thursday.
