" It was a shocking incident, not only because of the content of the video clip, but more so because so many people present seemed to know The Song and it seemed to be something people were familiar with, suggesting That it isn't the First Time That they've heard it - and I think a lot of people found That particularly chilling. "
Ms Long also told the programme The Incident is not " representative of everyone who is a unionist" but That it would be wrong to suggest That there is " not sectarianism That cuts right across our society".
