Paisley ‘must not block road to power sharing’

SINN FÉIN’S chief negotiator Martin McGuinness last night warned Dublin and London not to allow Ian Paisley to block the road to power sharing.

In his keynote address to the party’s Árd Fheis, Mr McGuinness also moved to reclaim the 90th anniversary of the 1916 rising for Sinn Féin by directly linking it to the IRA hunger strikes.

Mr McGuinness called on Rev Paisley’s DUP and the British government to match the commitment of republicans to the peace process.
