SF accuses Paisley of holding gun to Ahern and Blair

Sinn Féin has accused DUP leader Ian Paisley of effectively holding a gun to the heads of the Taoiseach and the British Prime Minister on the issue of photographic proof of IRA decommissioning.

Speaking in Stormont this afternoon, Martin McGuinness said the issue of photographs was "dead and buried", despite the DUP's insistence that it will not share power with Sinn Féin in the absence of such evidence.
