The Ulster Unionist Leader, David Trimble has issued an unprecedented invitation to Sinn Féin to meet ahead of the 10th March target date for the setting up of the new Northern Ireland executive. The meeting, which is expected to take place on Monday, is aimed at trying to break the deadlock on decommissing.
The Sinn Fein leadership has already met David Trimble, but this meeting is at the specific invitation of the First Minister and comes just days before the deadline for the setting up of the new executive.
The Sinn Féin Árd Comhairle met in Dublin today to finalise their strategy for the coming period. The Chairman of the party Mitchell McLoughlin welcomed the invitation from David Trimble.
He said that Sinn Féin will camp out at Stormont if necessary and meet round the clock with Unionists to try and meet next Wednesday's target date for devolving power to the new executive.
