Ahern to seek DUP clarification on power-sharing

The Taoiseach Bertie Ahern has promised to do all he can in the coming days to secure clarification from the DUP on its willingness to share power with Sinn Féin.

Yesterday, the Sinn Féin leadership said it would not go ahead with plans to endorse the PSNI unless the DUP made a firm commitment to power-sharing.
