Paisley: I'd work with SF with no arms or crime
27/02/2005 - 14:25:49
The DUP leader, Ian Paisley, has said he would share power with Sinn Féin if there was “no arms and no crime”.
The 78-year-old signalled that there was still a realistic prospect of devolved government for the Catholic and Protestant communities in the North, despite the fallout from the alleged robbery of the Northern Bank by the IRA.
"I have made it clear that as a democrat if people turn up with a mandate and if that mandate does not depend on criminality, does not depend on armed revolt and rebellion... I would face up to the fact that I would have to do business with them.”
