The Day Today

Chris Morris:
Sinn Féin have so far denied they are backing the campaign. Earlier today I spoke to their deputy leader, Rory O'Connor, who, under broadcasting restrictions, must inhale helium to subtract credibility from his statements.

[Interview]

Chris Morris:
So, what's your initial statement?

Rory O'Connor:
(inhales helium from a tank) These incidents are inevitable, given the position of the British Government.

Chris Morris:
You support this campaign, then?

Rory O'Connor:
The IRA have been forced into this position.

Chris Morris:
So you do support this campaign of violence.

Rory O'Connor:
(inhales helium) The IR - (inhales more helium) Sinn Féin is a legitimate political party.

Chris Morris:
Which supports terrorist action!

Rory O'Connor:
Your tone is antagonistic and you're making me very angry!

[Back in the studio]

Chris Morris:
And since we conducted that interview, all sides in the conflict have had a meeting, and have sorted everything out.
