Sinn Féin warned to make next move on devolution

It will be several political lifetimes before policing and justice powers are transferred to a devolved government in the North if Sinn Féin continues to delay moves to endorse the police, Gerry Adams’s party was warned today.

After the first meeting of the Programme for Government Committee, DUP deputy leader Peter Robinson insisted Sinn Féin needed to move first to create community confidence in policing and justice matters being handled by power sharing ministers.
