Downing Street summit to review peace process

Taoiseach Bertie Ahern is to review progress on policing in Northern Ireland and other aspects of the Good Friday Agreement during talks today with British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

The two leaders are expected to discuss during their Downing Street summit the work of Northern Ireland’s fledgling 19-member Police Board and efforts to persuade Sinn Fein to end its boycott of policing.
