Kenny wants moderate parties in NI peace process

Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny said today that the middle ground needs to be brought back into the peace process.

He said moderate parties on both sides of the political divide in the North have been excluded for the past two years as efforts continued to bring, what he called, the more extreme elements of Northern politics into the fold.

Mr Kenny claimed that effort has now foundered on the rocks of criminality and that the two governments need to go back to the drawing board.

The Fine Gael leader said that it is essential that all voices are heard if the peace process is to get back on track.
