Paisley told 'you'll have to talk to SF'

The Rev Ian Paisley will have to talk directly to Sinn Féin sooner or later, he was told today.

During exchanges in the UK's House of Commons, Northern Ireland Secretary Peter Hain told the Democratic Unionist leader he was not prepared to freeze Sinn Féin out of the Assembly or a power sharing government because republicans had committed themselves to a democratic, peaceful political path.
