PD warning – no alliance with SF

The PD leader said this policy would apply even if it meant losing mayoralpositions on local authorities:“Our view on Sinn Féin is very clear. For as long as they are associated with the Provisional IRA, and as long as they refuse to condemn and stand down their army, we are not going to enter into an alliance with them.”

The Progressive Democrats are not contesting the European elections but the party is running 127 candidates in the local elections, compared to 62 in 1999.
