Stay on peace path urges Clinton

FORMER US President Bill Clinton yesterday urged the people of Northern Ireland to continue on the road to peace and lead the world by their example.

Mr Clinton said he understood the process was difficult, but he asked the people to "vote for peace."

The former president also urged politicians to fully implement the Good Friday Agreement during a speech in Derry to mark John Hume's appointment to the Tip O'Neill Chair of Peace Studies at the University of Ulster.
