Sinn Féin has urged British Prime Minister Tony Blair to spell out clearly how he intends to implement outstanding aspects of the 1998 Good Friday Agreement.

Speaking after a meeting today with a British-Irish inter-governmental delegation, spokesman Gerry Kelly said: "Sinn Fein made the point that while Tony Blair has been talking about acts of completion from Republicans, we have yet to see a plan for acts of completion from his government on a whole range of issues, from policing to demilitarisation, the equality agenda and human rights."

Mr Kelly said his party made it clear that the re-establishment of the political institutions suspended last October was the only way to move the peace process forward.
