Paisley and McGuinness urged to admit disagreement

The North's First and Deputy First Minister are coming under pressure to admit that they cannot agree on who to appoint as the new Victims Commissioner.

The position should have been filled before the summer.

A leading campaigner for victims' rights is now calling on Ian Paisley and Martin McGuinness to admit that they cannot agree on a candidate for the job.

Alan McBride, who lost his wife and father in law in the 1993 Shankill Road bombing, says they should either re-advertise the post or change the process of appointment, possibly to include two commissioners.
