British Prime Minister Tony Blair must act as a guarantor of the Good Friday Agreement, says SF president

BRITISH Prime Minister Tony Blair must act as a guarantor of the Good Friday Agreement, Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams said yesterday.

Mr Adams said there were no grounds for expelling his party from the power-sharing executive in Northern Ireland and added that the Irish Government must continue its opposition to any suspension of the institutions.

It was time for Mr Blair to show to republicans and nationalists that he was prepared to act as guarantor for the agreement, he said.
