THE DUP has condemned the latest wave of sectarian attacks after another night of violence in the North.

THE Rev Ian Paisley said the unionist community would judge the IRA’s bona fides over the next months and years based on its behaviour and activity.

“I WAS only ever wrong once,” goes the favourite joke of a friend of mine. “It happened once when I thought I was wrong, but I was actually right!”

Ian Paisley tonight announced plans to stand down as an MEP this summer as his party prepared for historic face to face talks with the Irish Government.

Plans to restore a power sharing government in Northern Ireland tonight faced an indefinite delay as hardline unionists who rejected the Good Friday Agreement strengthened their vote in the Assembly Election.

Senior unionists Peter Robinson and Nigel Dodds of the DUP and Reg Empey of the UUP have been elected on the first count.
