UUP accuses DUP of lying and scaremongering

Ulster Unionist Party leader David Trimble has accused the DUP of scaremongering and lying in the run-up to the Assembly election in the North later this month.

Speaking in Belfast today, Mr Trimble said the DUP was vowing not to sit in a power-sharing Executive with Sinn Féin in the absence of IRA decommissioning and disbandment. "In 1999, they broke that pledge themselves while decommissioning hadn’t even begun," he added.
