Durkan to outline plans to break deadlock

SDLP leader Mark Durkan was today expected to step up demands for the Irish and British governments to involve everyone who created the Good Friday Agreement in an effort to bring back devolution to Northern Ireland.

As foreign minister Brian Cowen and Northern Ireland Secretary Paul Murphy continued to consider ways of bringing back the power-sharing Executive and Assembly, Mr Durkan was due to outline to his party’s annual conference in Armagh his proposals for breaking the political deadlock.
