McGuinness on his IRA past: 'I fought against the British Army on the streets of Derry'

Martin McGuinness became frustrated with questions about his IRA past when he ran as a candidate in the 2011 Presidential Election.

“Most Irish journalists, if Nelson Mandela was sitting in front of them, would not go down this line of questioning,” he told reporters at one point.

“I have never tried to pull the wool over people’s eyes about my history," he said in an interview with TheJournal.ie in December 2015.
