Deal may let North's MPs speak in Dáil

Northern Ireland’s MPs and MEPs are to be given the chance to take part in debates in the Dáil if a comprehensive peace process deal is struck in the coming week, it was claimed today.

Sources said the North's 18 MPs and three MEPs will be given speaking rights in the Dáil should a deal be achieved to revive power-sharing and put IRA weapons beyond use.
