SDLP: Pro-Agreement parties must stand together

Pro-Good Friday Agreement parties need to stand up for the accord, a senior member of the SDLP claimed today.

As his party prepared to travel to Downing Street where British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Taoiseach Bertie Ahern were due to meet Northern Ireland’s pro-Good Friday Agreement Parties, former Stormont finance minister Sean Farren called for a common approach to be adopted by supporters of the 1998 accord.
