Trimble to meet Blair after review walkout

Ulster Unionist leader David Trimble was meeting the British Prime Minister today in a bid to get Sinn Féin thrown out of the talks seeking to restore devolution to Northern Ireland.

He walked out of the review of the workings of the Good Friday Agreement yesterday because Ulster Secretary Paul Murphy and Minister John O’Donoghue failed to give him what he wanted – Sinn Féin’s marching orders.
