Durkan claims SDLP success would force IRA to disband

SDLP leader Mark Durkan has claimed that success for his party in the upcoming Westminster election in the North would force the IRA to disband.

Speaking at the launch of his party's manifesto today, Mr Durkan claimed it was the loss of Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams' seat in 1992 that drove the IRA towards a ceasefire.
