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.
