Ahern and Blair to meet leaders

Taoiseach Bertie Ahern and British Prime Minister Tony Blair will meet Sinn Féin and DUP leaders separately today as the all-out effort to secure a comprehensive peace process deal intensifies.

Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams will head to Government Buildings in Dublin to raise concerns his party has about the scaling-down of British military installations in Republican areas of Northern Ireland, policing, power-sharing and other issues.
