Northern Ireland

Asked to confirm whether Ian Paisley would be meeting with the Prime Minister this afternoon, the PMOS said that he did not want to get into a running commentary about our contact with Northern Ireland parties. We had said at St. Andrews that we wanted the parties to come back and indicate their acceptance of the St. Andrews agreement as a possible way forward by the 10th November, and therefore, people should not be surprised if we were in touch with the parties at the moment. The St. Andrews agreement was still there, and we believed that there was a pathway to getting devolved government up and running on 26th March 2007, so we would wait to see what would happen.
