Charlie Flanagan: North's parties must emulate McGuinness' efforts

Foreign Minister Clarlie Flanagan has urged the parties in the North to emulate Martin McGuinness' political legacy.

Paying tribute to Mr McGuinness, who today announced his decision to quit frontline politics for health reasons, Charlie Flanagan said he had been unstinting in trying to stabilise power-sharing in Belfast and advance reconciliation between unionists and nationalists.
