DUP ‘ready to share power with SF’

Speaking after the annual Wolfe Tone commemoration at Bodenstown yesterday, Mr Ahern said he believed the DUP would be prepared to enter into a power-sharing agreement with Sinn Féin in a restored Northern Assembly.

Mr Ahern said he believed if agreement was reached on decommissioning, an end to paramilitarism and co-operation in policing and justice, the DUP would agree to share power. “If we get agreement on these issues, then I think it is entirely reasonable to expect the DUP to power share with Sinn Féin,” he said.
