Row threatens policing funds
More than £1bn (€1.1bn) of UK Treasury funding for devolving policing and justice powers to the North is under threat if there is no cross-party agreement, deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness said today.
Amid a deepening rift between Sinn Féin and Democratic Unionists over the controversial move, the senior republican told DUP leader Peter Robinson he had to let people know exactly why he was still refusing to agree a date for the transfer of justice responsibilities from Westminster.
