Paisley and Adams 'on their own' if they miss deadline
Ian Paisley and Gerry Adams will have to strike their own devolution deal if next week’s power-sharing deadline in the North is missed, Peter Hain warned today.
Both leaders have until Monday to sign up to an agreement to go into government linked to a multi-billion economic package. But with the DUP still holding out on a commitment, Mr Hain claimed the parties would be on their own if they failed to meet the deadline.
