Ignore DUP power sharing demands SDLP

The Irish and British governments were urged today to call time on the Democratic Unionist Party's list of preconditions ahead of the November 24 deadline for power sharing in the North.

While visiting New York, nationalist SDLP leader Mark Durkan likened the DUP's approach to the political process to a pub crawl of preconditions and accused the British government of indulging them.
