Sinn Féin pushes for progress on policing

The UK government must not allow unionists in the North to block a deal on devolving policing and justice powers to the region’s Assembly, Sinn Féin said today.

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown is engaged in long running talks with Sinn Féin and the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) on the issue, with the latest set of negotiations held over the weekend in Westminster.
