Talk to me, says Adams
09/12/2004 - 12:47:17Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams has reiterated his call on DUP leader Ian Paisley to meet him face-to-face in an effort to resolve difficulties in the peace process.
The Democratic Unionist Party is currently refusing to engage in direct talks with Sinn Féin.
Yesterday, a deal to restore power-sharing government in the North was put on hold because of ongoing differences between the DUP and Sinn Féin over IRA decommissioning.
Mr Adams said today that these differences could be overcome if Mr Paisley would agree to face-to-face talks.
"Some may say I'm naive in asking this," he said. "What I am appealing to Ian Paisley to do, as the leader of unionism, as a mandated political leader, is to come and meet and talk to me."
