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."
