'Adams to announce arms dump move' - claim

Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams is preparing to announce that an IRA arms dump has been permanently sealed, new Ulster Unionist MP David Burnside claimed today.

Just before talks with Britain's Prime Minister Tony Blair at Downing Street, he said the Sinn Fein president would make the weapons declaration as part of fresh republican moves to try and force the Government into making more concessions on policing and demilitarisation.
