Paisley prepares for Ahern talks
Ian Paisley tonight announced plans to stand down as an MEP this summer as his party prepared for historic face to face talks with the Irish Government.
As British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Taoiseach Bertie Ahern agreed a review of the Good Friday Agreement would begin on February 3, the Democratic Unionist leader said he was quitting Strasbourg to focus on the forthcoming negotiations.
