Taoiseach Bertie Ahern and Britain's Prime Minister Tony Blair's blueprint for moving the peace process forward could fail if unreasonable demands are made of republicans, it was claimed today.

As the two men prepared to fly to Hillsborough Castle to unveil their proposals for fully implementing the Good Friday Agreement on its fifth anniversary, Sinn Fein chairman Mitchel McLaughlin insisted negotiations still remained open.
