CHANCES OF A DEAL
20/03/2013 00:00
PROTESTANT leader Ian Paisley said yesterday a strong election showing had strengthened his hand in moving towards sharing power with Catholic foes in Northern Ireland. I can afford now to go a bit farther in things because I am confident the people are with me, said Paisley, a firebrand preacher who is key to any power-sharing deal, after meeting Britain's Northern Ireland minister, Peter Hain. Paisley's pro-British Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) strengthened its hold in last week's vote for a provincial assembly and is under pressure from Britain to share power with Sinn Fein, political ally of the Irish Republican Army (IRA).
