Now or never, Paisley tells IRA
The IRA were warned by Democratic Unionist leader Ian Paisley today that “it’s now or never” to do a deal on power sharing with his party.
Speaking after a meeting with Tony Blair in Downing Street, the DUP said a deal was closer than at any time in history, but the people of Northern Ireland must be convinced that the IRA had put their arms beyond use.
Mr Paisley said: “It’s now or never. You must have done with your arms. You must put them away.
“Everyone must be convinced that the completion is a real act.”
