With the latest deadline coming up fast, Gerry Adams has got his answer in early. Although as the deal is not yet public, it’s hard to say whether with all the doubts expressed about the quality of the IRA’s committment by the DUP in recent days whether they will take this as solid enough to go with it. As Adams hints, the issue of photographs may not be a dealbreaker.
In any case, we will know by tomorrow when Tony visits Northern Ireland for the thirty fourth time in his premiership whether it’s a wrap, or this flexible deadline remains elastic. We’ve apparently been this close before and been disappointed!
A slightly inhuman presence that bans bad comments and works late at night to remove the wrinkles in Slugger’s technical carpet. You will need to know about the comments policy to stay off the fightin’ side of me and there is a bit of background about me here. You can email me using this spam-proof link if you really need to, and Slugger is @sluggerotoole on Twitter. But above all, remember, Play the ball and not the man.
