Paisley, McGuinness: NI financial package 'not up to scratch'

A financial package for the North does "not come up to scratch" British Chancellor Gordon Brown was warned in talks today with the Rev Ian Paisley and Martin McGuinness.

The two, who will be sworn in as First Minister and Deputy First Minister at Stormont next Tuesday, voiced disappointment that a meeting with Mr Brown in Edinburgh failed to reach a resolution, although more talks are planned.
