'Get that thing down' The Secretary of State encountered a factory girl on Londonderry's Peace Bridge during his first visit to the city. Retired shirt factory worker Margaret McMonagle told Chris Bryant she was unhappy with a £187,000 statue erected in honor of industry workers. Factories staffed mostly by women once made Derry a powerhouse in the global textile industry. The exchange between the pair remained good-natured and lighthearted. Derry City and Strabane District Council said they "engaged extensively" with the public and representatives about the sculpture.
