Donaldson: Council meeting is 'defining moment'

Hard-line Ulster Unionist MP Jeffrey Donaldson would not be drawn on his future as colleagues gathered for a crucial showdown of the party’s ruling council this evening.

As he arrived at the south Belfast hotel hosting tonight’s 900-member Ulster Unionist Council meeting on the British and Irish Governments’ plan for the future of the peace process, Mr Donaldson hoped the party would reject the document.
