Sinn Fein MPs take up office at Westminster

Sinn Fein ministers will take up office at the House of Commons later today.

It follows a vote at Westminster last month, which gave the green light to the four Sinn Fein MPs.

The Party had been barred from taking offices at Westminster unless they swore an oath of allegiance to the Queen.

Sinn Fein President, Gerry Adams, has welcomed the move as a step forward.
