UUP member rejects 'one track mind' claims

Unionist concerns about the failure to implement some elements of the Good Friday Agreement are being overlooked by those who accuse them of being fixated on paramilitary weapons, an UUP Assembly member claimed today.

South Belfast MLA Esmond Birnie rejected claims that unionists had a ‘‘one track mind’’ on the Agreement, listing seven areas of the accord where they would like to see more progress.
