DUP will talk to Sinn Féin, says Ferris

SINN FÉIN TD Martin Ferris yesterday predicted the Democratic Unionist Party will talk to his party about restoration of the Assembly.

The DUP, now the largest party in the North, is refusing to share power with Sinn Féin until the IRA stands down.

“We have no phobia about the DUP and we are confident the party will have little difficulty in dealing with us, just as they have recognised the reality of life in the councils,” said Mr Ferris.
