Sinn Féin holds crunch talks on policing

Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams and his party’s national executive will meet in Dublin today to decide whether to press ahead with plans to support the police in Northern Ireland.

The 58-member party executive backed moves on December 29 recommending a special conference this month of rank and file members to decide if they should endorse Sir Hugh Orde’s Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI).
