At last
Power will be devolved in the North on May 8 under a deal struck during historic talks by the Ian Paisley and Gerry Adams, the Democratic Unionist Party leader has revealed today.
Sinn Féin and the DUP are to seek a meeting with Chancellor Gordon Brown to agree an economic package and they have asked Prime Minister Tony Blair to delay the introduction of water charges.
Mr Paisley said: "This meeting represents an important step on the road to the setting-up of a power-sharing executive in six weeks’ time."

Which presumably, is in turn an important step towards the day when there is one government for the people of Ireland, elected by all the people, representing the interests of all the people. A government that looks after the interests of those who live here and does not seek a victory of one group over another. A government which cherishes all the children of the nation equally.
Á! An t-airgead, an toil phoilitiúil agus meangadh na bpoiliteoirí.
An mairfidh sé?
Nóta beag: "Tháinig ár lá" ba cheart a scríobhadh. ;-)
Thinknig about how much Republicans had to give Paisley just to get him to sit down and talk about a government i cant help wondering how much more they will need to give up in order to keep him there.
Come to think of it whats left to give?
But i suppose that makes me a flat earth, irrelevant, criminally motivated sinister yesterday man supportive of a micro group that has no support in the community whatsoever.
