The Taoiseach Bertie Ahern has been accused of double standards after ruling out ever going into coalition with Sinn Féin.

DUP MP Nigel Dodds warned the Taoiseach not to expect his party to stomach in the North what he would not accept here.

Mr Ahern said in a Sunday Newspaper that he could not go into coalition with the republicans on the basis that their economic policies would be detrimental to the country.
