The Sinn Féin Assembly member Gerry Kelly has accused the Ulster Unionist leader David Trimble of playing games with the supporters of the Good Friday Agreement. Earlier today, at the Ulster Unionist conference in Enniskillen, Mr. Trimble said that his party would not share power with Sinn Féin unless the IRA committed itself to arms decommissioning.
The Ulster Unionist leader made a strong appeal for unity within his party and has attacked his critics both inside and outside it. Speaking at the party's annual conference in Enniskillen, David Trimble said that he would not give up trying to make the Good Friday Agreement work.
The majority of the party's Westminster MPs are opposed to the Good Friday Agreement, but Mr. Trimble argued that destroying it would endanger the North's union with Britain. The party's deputy leader, John Taylor, believes that the agreement will fail and he has refused to support Mr. Trimble's participation in the current review of its implementation.
