Unionists vow to block SF from ministries

Ulster Unionists opposed to the Good Friday Agreement today vowed to block Sinn Féin appointments to key ministries at Stormont.

With eight days left until polling day for Northern Ireland’s Assembly Election, a number of UUP candidates said they would veto any move to appoint Sinn Féin’s Gerry Kelly or any other member of the party as minister for policing and justice.
