Kenny meets SDLP in bid to save executive

Taoiseach Enda Kenny will today meet the SDLP in a bid to prevent the collapse of the North’s power-sharing executive.

The move comes in the wake of threats by unionists to collapse the institutions following the arrests of senior republicans in relation to an IRA murder.

The arrests of Bobby Storey, the chairman of Sinn Féin in the North, with two others resulted in the Democratic Unionist Party threatening to quit.
