Devolution - people are losing patience, warns Durkan

Northern Ireland politicians will be engaged in a hectic series of meetings today, aimed at finding a formula for restoring devolution as nationalist SDLP leader Mark Durkan called on them to implement the Good Friday Agreement.

Mr Durkan, who was due to meet Northern Ireland Secretary Paul Murphy and Taoiseach Bertie Ahern today, warned parties that the public’s patience was wearing thin.
