Trimble rejects Adams' talks offer

Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams said tonight he had offered to talk to members of the Ulster Unionist executive in a bid to repair the strained relationship between their two parties.

After a 40-minute meeting with Ulster Unionist leader David Trimble, the West Belfast MP revealed he had also suggested that the former Northern Ireland First Minister should address Sinn Fein’s executive as well.
