Republicans must do more for Assembly, says Trimble

The Republican movement has not yet done enough to earn the right to see the Northern Ireland Assembly recalled and a new executive formed, Ulster Unionist leader David Trimble said last night.

Speaking at a fringe meeting at the British Conservative Party’s annual conference at Blackpool, England, Mr Trimble reminded his audience that in October last year Tony Blair called for the completion of the transition to exclusively peaceful means in Northern Ireland politics.
