Clinton calls for political action on sticking points in North peace process

Former US president Bill Clinton has expressed concern that many of the sticking points holding back the North’s peace process when he left power more than a decade ago are still unresolved.

Mr Clinton used his first visit to the Republic for two years to urge political leaders to do more to deal with issues such as the disappeared and tensions over parades.

In Dublin to boost a philanthropic drive for companies and individuals to donate 1% of their salary or time to good causes, Mr Clinton said he was “in two minds” about the legacy of the peace process he played a key role in during the 1990s.
