UDA rules out agreeing deadline for disarmament
The nationalist SDLP’s Margaret Ritchie said she was disappointed after the UDA issued a brief statement responding to her demand that they meet a disarmament deadline which she set for next Tuesday.
The social development minister has threatened to withdraw £1.2 million (€1.7m) in funding for a regeneration project for loyalist communities, which the UDA has promoted if the organisation does not go out of business.
