McGuinness: UUP rejecting deal for 'cynical' reasons

Martin McGuinness accused the Ulster Unionists today of opposing a deal to devolve policing powers to Northern Ireland for cynical party political reasons, as a crunch debate on the transfer began at Stormont.

The Sinn Féin Deputy First Minister heavily criticised the UUP's stance as he tabled a motion that, if passed, will see justice responsibilities handed over to the powersharing administration in April.
