DUP: Provisional IRA claims strong enough to force SF out

Current evidence of Provisional IRA (PIRA) activity is of sufficient strength to force the exclusion of Sinn Féin from Northern Ireland’s powersharing government, the Democratic Unionists have insisted.

DUP deputy leader Nigel Dodds said his party would push for Sinn Féin to be thrown out of the coalition administration if the republican party did not deal with the revelations about the involvement of some PIRA members in a murder.
