Sinn Féin MPs must sit in House of Commons

IF the nationalist community in the North, and we in the south, needed a confidence-building measure from the DUP then surely Ian Paisley’s visit last week was it in spades.

Let’s hope Gregory Campbell and Nigel Dodds start singing from the same hymn sheet as their party leader.

Much of the long delay in implementing the Good Friday Agreement has been caused by the tactics of Sinn Féin and the IRA, which have sought to avoid meeting key obligations at every turn. They have been forced, slowly but surely, to decommission IRA weapons and to recognise the legitimacy of the PSNI.
