Natalie McNally's father

Over the past three and a half years, our family has went through unimaginable pain and grief from the loss of our beautiful daughter, Natalie.

We would like everyone, we would like to thank everyone who has helped us to get here today, all our family and friends, the whole community of Oregon, of Craigavon and throughout this country and beyond, for all the kindness and the support we have received.

We would also like to thank the PSNI and the Prosecution Service for getting us to this conclusion here today.

Today we do not celebrate the sentence handed down as Bernard, my three boys and myself are serving a life sentence since the murder of our beloved Nodley.

But hopefully it will serve to deter and to help stop violence against women and girls in this country.

With respect, we are now asked for some privacy to continue the degrees.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Thank you.
