The British-Irish inter-parliamentary body is due to hold its latest biannual meeting in the British town of Ware this week.

Delegates at the meeting are expected to discuss the latest developments in the peace process and the proposed constitution for the European Union, among other issues.

Fine Gael TD Seymour Crawford said he also intended to propose the Government’s planned ban on smoking in the workplace be extended to cover the six counties in the North.
