SF Ard Comhairle discuss Agreement

Sinn Féin's Ard Comhairle met on Tuesday to hear a report from the party's negotiating team. Afterwards, Gerry Adams said, ``The leadership of Sinn Féin will meet, deliberate and hold further discussions at every opportunity but it is the membership of Sinn Féin who will make the final decision.''

The Ard Comhairle meeting adjourned and will meet again prior to this weekend's Ard Fheis.

``In the meantime,'' Gerry Adams said, ``the Sinn Féin leadership is engaged in a countrywide series of briefings and discussions with party members.''

A Sinn Féin spokesperson described the launch of Ian Paisley's No Campaign to the ``Trimble/Adams Agreement'' as ``pitiful''. ``Sinn Féin has not signed up to the Agreement and are currently in the process of consulting with the membership,'' the spokesperson said.
