Ministers meet to discuss IRA money-laundering probe

Minister for Justice Michael McDowell and Northern Ireland Secretary Paul Murphy will meet today to discuss the cross-border battle to smash a massive IRA money-laundering racket.

The pair will review the joint drive against the IRA 24 hours before Mr Murphy tells the British House of Commons what sanctions he will take against Sinn Fein over the £26m (€38m) Northern Bank heist.
