Mallon dismayed by UUP motion

Seamus Mallon has said that the proposed UUP motion to exclude the two Sinn Fein ministers from the Northern Assembly will "deepen the crisis in the North instead of helping to solve it".

The UUP refuse to sit in the executive with the Sinn Fein ministers, Martin McGuinness and Bairbre De Bruin, until the IRA has begun decommissioning.
