| Description | Ulster Unionist MP David Burnside has admitted that he went for the job as media spokesperson for the UDA in the mid 1970s.
Burnside, who refuses to talk to Sinn Féin, confessed that he was interviewed by Ulster Defence Association commander Andy Tyrie for the post of public relations officer in 1977.
The South Antrim MP revealed that two years after he left his job as press officer for the Vanguard movement, he was approached by UDA chief Andy Tyrie who asked him if he could "help improve the UDA image which was in a terrible state at the time".
