Adams calls on Trimble not to appeal ruling

Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams has called on David Trimble not to appeal yesterday's court ruling that found he was acting unlawfully in imposing sanctions on Sinn Fein ministers.

Speaking in Belfast, Mr Adams said that Mr Trimble should set aside his sanctions and get on with making the political institutions work. Any appeal would be a time-wasting exercise, he said.
