Hard-line Unionists kick-off Assembly campaign

Ian Paisley’s hard-line Democratic Unionist Party was today setting out to replace the Ulster Unionists as the largest pro-union party with the official launch of its Assembly election campaign today.

The campaign, which will centre on demands for a renegotiation of the Good Friday Agreement, will be launched by DUP leader Ian Paisley and deputy leader Peter Robinson in front of an audience of several hundred supporters at the Odyssey Centre.
