Ahern to hold talks with SDLP critic

Taoiseach Bertie Ahern will today meet the SDLP after its leader criticised current peace process negotiations.

As Sinn Féin and Ian Paisley’s Democratic Unionists considered proposals from the Irish and British governments to revive power sharing at Stormont, SDLP leader Mark Durkan was travelling to Dublin for a meeting with the Taoiseach.
