Pro-IRA and sectarian attacks? Any proof for this?
The Unionist people in Foyle really saved Durkan and the SDLP. I hope he remembers that. I added that to the article. -- Rebelstrike 20:33, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
"The SDLP victory has been interpreted as a humiliation for Sinn Féin given the high profile they gave to winning this seat."
Twas hardly humiliating.
Not as humiliating as the SDLP's fall from grace anyway.
Why do editors think it is necessary to mention that he is a catholic, I have seen this in a few articles on Irish politicans, it seems like a sectarian headcount.-- padraig3uk 13:30, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Hello, new contributor here with a small query - The bias of my being Irish aside, I was just wondering, why is Mark Durkan's nationality down as British?
He is a citizen of of Ireland, a nationalist, and as most other nationalists are listed as Irish, I was just wondering what the reasoning behind it is? —Preceding unsigned comment added by ConorOhare ( talk • contribs) 12:15, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Before the 2 December 1999, the distinction between Irish citizenship and entitlement to Irish citizenship rested on the place of birth. Any person born on the island of Ireland was:
* automatically an Irish citizen if born in the Republic of Ireland; or * entitled to be an Irish citizen if born in Northern Ireland.[12]
Ok I understand your point (and I also understand that you ARE being relatively unbiased) - I've sent an Email to Mr Durkan's office at the SDLP site, would it be ok to link to his reply (I'm new here, not 100% sure if that would count as verifiable)?
It would be more or less from the horse's mouth I would have thought!?

Ok thanks for your help - I'll let you know how it goes when I get one back from the office.
Much Obliged,

I notice that although the entries for Martin McGuinness and Gerry Adams give Gaelic versions for their names as well as English, Mark Durkan's name is in English only. Why is this? (I note that Peter Robinson and Ian Paisley don't get Gaelic either, but perhaps they wouldn't want it . I'm not sure if Ulster Scots variants of names exist. Perhaps they do).

http://markdurkan.net is dead. This seems to be the last working version of it that has been archived. Should the article link to this? Alekksandr ( talk) 18:31, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
