Martin seeks justice devolution in North

DEVOLVING justice powers to the Northern Executive was demanded by Foreign Minister Micheál Martin last night, as unionists and republicans met in New York.

Mr Martin was speaking at a panel discussion chaired by former US president Bill Clinton. Mr Clinton devoted a section of his annual global initiative conference to the peace process.

Northern First Minister Peter Robinson, Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness and Northern Secretary Shaun Woodward also attended the discussion.
