Paisley calls for Hain to quit over economy remarks

Peter Hain should quit the British government over comments in the United States advocating an all-Ireland economy, the Rev Ian Paisley said today.

Following a meeting with Irish Taoiseach Bertie Ahern in Dublin, the Democratic Unionist Party leader lambasted the Northern Ireland Secretary after he was quoted in an Irish American newspaper saying the North’s economy was not sustainable in the long run.
