IRA gun photo row blocks peace talks

A ROW over taking a photograph of IRA guns being destroyed is the latest stumbling block threatening to crash the North’s peace talks.

The DUP want the documentary evidence of the IRA’s arms decommissioning, but Sinn Féin feels unionists will only use photographs to humiliate Republicans, according to sources close to the talks.

Yesterday the Taoiseach was believed to be alluding to the dispute when he said he thought the public would almost be amused if exact details of some of the talks on decommissioning were divulged.
