Foster: il DUP impegnato nella devolution

Foster: DUP committed to devolution

Acting Northern Ireland First Minister Arlene Foster has given assurances that the Democratic Unionist Party is committed to resolving the outstanding issues involving devolution of policing and justice powers.

She stressed that the DUP was also committed to working with Sinn Féin to achieve this.

On RTÉ Radio’s Morning Ireland, Ms Foster, who is standing in for DUP leader Peter Robinson while he deals with allegations about his integrity and spends time with his ill wife, said she does not expect to be in the position for long.

Also on Morning Ireland, Minister for Foreign Affairs Micheál Martin said he would not speculate on the crisis surrounding Peter Robinson’s temporary departure as First Minister, but said obstacles to achieving agreement on the devolution of justice and policing were not insurmountable.

Mr Martin and Northern Ireland Secretary Shaun Woodward are to meet tonight.

Last night Taoiseach Brain Cowen said that he hoped that talks between the two parties would bring swift progress within days.

Mr Woodward was also optimistic.
