Ahern: McCabe killers must be released for deal

If the IRA killers of Garda Jerry McCabe are not released there will be no deal struck on the Northern Ireland peace process, Taoiseach Bertie Ahern warned today.

He told the Dáil it had been made clear in current negotiations that if the issue was not dealt with there would be no agreement on the restoration of the power-sharing institutions, currently at a critical stage.
