Paisley and Ahern to discuss shared World War memorial
The North's first Minister, Dr Ian Paisley has said he will hold talks with the Taoiseach about developing a shared memorial for Irish people from North and the Republic who died in both world wars.
Dr Paisley said the time was right to remember those who gave their lives to save democracy.
He said Irish men and women contributed just as much as those from the UK.
He also added that he will gladly come south of the border more often if organisations are prepared to invite him.
He made his remarks in Dublin yesterday where he gave a lecture to the historical society at Trinity College.
Dr Paisley said if time allows, he will do his best to honour all invitations from south of the border.
