Hardline unionists demand answers from decommissioning chief

The head of the international decommissioning body in Belfast, General John de Chastelain, was due to face questions from hardline unionists today about the latest act of IRA disarmament.

As nationalist SDLP leader Mark Durkan also prepared to put forward proposals on how to repair the damage to Northern Ireland’s latest peace process deal, the General was due to meet members of the Rev Ian Paisley’s Democratic Unionists and also Robert McCartney’s UK Unionists separately.
