Sinn Féin árd fheis - Positive signs for peace process

Sinn Féin adopted a positive and conciliatory tone at its árd fheis over the weekend, holding out the prospect of coming to some kind of arrangement with other parties in a bid to continue the work of implementing the Good Friday Agreement.

Sinn Féin and the Ulster Unionist Party have been engaged in dialogue and “a good bit of substantive work” was done before the most recent Hillsborough talks, according to Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams.

However, only time will tell if the gap between Mr Adams and UUP leader David Trimble can be bridged.
