The North's deputy First Minister said she had been told by the PSNI that they have received intelligence of a plan by dissidents to attack both her and Sinn Féin MLA Gerry Kelly. Speaking at Parliament Buildings in Belfast, Ms O’Neill said they are both taking precautions as a consequence, and vowed to protect their families. “I have been told by the PSNI that they have intelligence that dissident republicans are planning an attack against myself and Gerry Kelly,” Ms O’Neill said.
