Sir Geoffrey Donaldson was the leader of the DUP.
He represented them in Parliament.
He had that seat for a very, very long time.

In hours, within hours.
Within hours.

And, you know, using our journalist who had gone to the scene that night.
I remained and worked till around seven o'clock last night because I was covering a major court case we have here.
