Common sense needed for continued peace progress

Northern Ireland politicians can change society for the better if they apply common sense in the wake of recent moves in the peace process, Sinn Fein minister Martin McGuinness has said.

With two days to go before Ulster Unionists consider a proposal for them to pull out of the Stormont power sharing government if IRA disarmament is not completed by next February, Mr McGuinness urged people not to lose sight of the achievements of the Good Friday Agreement.
