Call to DUP chiefs over peace talks

Democratic Unionist leaders the Rev Ian Paisley and Peter Robinson were urged today to face down any internal dissent over their bid to strike a deal to restore power-sharing in Northern Ireland.

As talks resumed at Stormont under the chairmanship of Northern Ireland Secretary Paul Murphy and Junior Irish Foreign Minister Tom Kitt to revive the Assembly, Sinn Féin’s Martin McGuinness urged the DUP to strike a deal as quickly as possible.
