Description

The first anniversary of the IRA ceasefire in Northern Ireland is three days away, yet doubts are now being cast on the future of peace in the province. There’s a deadlock in the peace process and it’s that stalemate which has been the subject of talks in Dublin between Irish political leaders and Sinn Fein today. The meeting took place as James Molyneaux announced he’s standing down as the leader of the Ulster Unionist Party. Tom Coulter reports on the proceedings.
