Paisley hits back at Ahern statement on Army Council

Former Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) leader Ian Paisley clashed with former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern today over the devolution of policing and justice powers to Stormont.

Mr Paisley, who retired from frontline politics in June, spoke out after Mr Ahern signalled that unionists were stepping outside the terms of the St Andrews Agreement of 2006.
