Democratic Unionists 'split over Sinn Fein'

Ian Paisley’s Democratic Unionists are split over whether they should deal with Sinn Fein, a rival claimed today.

Ulster Unionist MLA Michael McGimpsey claimed comments by DUP Assembly man William Hay about the conditions under which his party would talk to Sinn Fein were evidence of a looming confrontation between rival factions in Mr Paisley’s party.
