Sinn Féin in deadlock over policing move

SINN FÉIN’s most senior members — including Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness — were locked in talks last night to decide whether to ask its national executive to meet this weekend and discuss its policy on policing.

As talks among senior party members continued in Belfast last night a spokesman for Sinn Féin said it had not reached any agreement.

“There will be nothing from us tonight, it is very much a work in progress but talks will continue.”
