Adams warns of potential risks to power-sharing proposals

THE British and Irish governments could put progress in the North at risk if they divert from what was agreed at the St Andrew’s talks and make concessions to the DUP, Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams has said.

The two parties have until November 10 to signal their support for the plan agreed at St Andrew’s and sign up to power-sharing.

If they do, DUP leader Ian Paisley and Sinn Féin chief negotiator Martin McGuinness will be nominated First and Deputy First Ministers respectively on November 24.
