McGuinness warns against suspending devolution

Northern Ireland’s parties will struggle to get back into power sharing if the Government suspends devolution this week, Sinn Féin MP Martin McGuinness warned today.

As the Good Friday Agreement was engulfed by its gravest crisis yet over allegations that republicans carried out an espionage operation at the heart of Government in Belfast, Mr McGuinness cautioned Tony Blair against suspending devolution to save the peace process.
