'No involvement of Loyalists – no legacy deal’.

That is the argument being put forward on a blog on the Eamonnmallie.com website.

Winston Irvine says excluding parts of the community from talks, sabotages progress on dealing with the past.

Speaking to Q radio news, the Progressive Unionist Party member says people will be reluctant to engage in the process if they've had no input.

"Loyalists will be expected to a major part in any potential legacy process and that is why they should be at the table." he added.
