IMC members urged to resign by Sinn Féin MP

All four members of the North's ceasefire watchdog, the Independent Monitoring Commission (IMC), were today urged to quit after one of them stood down from a political party.

Sinn Féin MP Conor Murphy, whose party has been preparing a legal challenge to have the IMC declared unlawful, made the demand after John Alderdice resigned from the cross-community Alliance Party, which he once led.
