Paisley to boycott high-level devolution talks at Stormont

Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) leader Ian Paisley has pulled out of a planned meeting of the North's political leaders today due to a dispute over the timing of Sinn Féin's moves to endorse the PSNI.

The meeting of the Stormont Preparation for Government Committee was due to be attended by the leaders of all the North's main political parties.
