Ahern and Adams attend Basque peace conference

Former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern and Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams are in the Basque country today, where a major development is expected in Spain's peace process.

There is speculation that the Basque separatist group ETA may announce moves towards a permanent end to their armed campaign.

Bertie Ahern and Gerry Adams, as well as other prominent players in the Irish peace process, have been involved in efforts to bring the Basque conflict to an end.

The two men are attending a conference in San Sebastian, which is aimed at advancing the Basque peace process.
